A well-established sandwich shop in Edinburgh's financial district has been put on the market.
Leasehold owner Alison Thomson has owned Hank’s Sandwich Shop in the Fountainbridge area since 2012 and is selling the business to concentrate on other opportunities.
Hank’s caters to busy office lunchtime trade from Monday to Friday and provides outside catering services to local businesses.
The area has undergone recent regeneration, including a 228 room Hampton by Hilton hotel and opposite Hank's, work has begun on the New Fountainbridge development of a 262 bedroom Moxy Hotel and 60,000 sq ft of office space.
Thomson said: “Hank’s has gone from strength to strength since we opened the doors in May 2012. The Fountainbridge area has undergone massive transformation and this will continue for some time yet.
"The new Boroughmuir High School, additional student accommodation and Hampton by Hilton hotel have all been completed in the last two years and the footfall to the shop has grown dramatically in that time. There exists real potential for a new owner to continue this growth in revenue.”
Daniel Arrandale, business agent at Christie & Co's Edinburgh office, is handling the sale. The firm is seeking offers of £45,000 for a new lease.
He said: “This well-established sandwich shop presents a fantastic business opportunity in one of Edinburgh’s most up and coming city centre locations.
"Fountainbridge has already seen a significant amount of redevelopment with Boroughmuir High School, Edinburgh Pressmakers, the Hampton by Hilton Hotel, as well as various student accommodation blocks.
“Hank’s is already generating good income levels and provides a solid platform for a new owner to take the business forward.”
