Two family-run bakery and cafes up for sale in Glasgow's east end

Two bakery and cafe units in the east end of Glasgow are up for sale, after being in the same family for 45 years.

Baking For You, whose premises consists of two cafe units as well as providing wholesale bakery produce, which are sold in the shop as well as supplying local businesses with rolls and pies.

Both units are being sold through business property adviser Christie & Co’s, who have said there is potential for the bakery to develop its external catering services.

The bakery has gone up for sale as the owners are looking to move to England and have decided to put the business on the market.

The current owner said: "Baking for You has been in our family for the last 45 years and it has been with great pleasure the business has been passed down to me and operated by my family for such a long time. 

"It was first started by my father and handed down to the latest generation of bakers. I wish a successful purchaser the very best in this extremely well-run business."

Blair Smith, business agent at Christie & Co's Glasgow Office is handling the sale of the business. He said: "Both cafes have a loyal customer base and benefit hugely from being prominently placed on main thoroughfares for passing trade and local custom.

"The business currently runs part managed but could benefit from an owner operator to maximise profits. The sale presents itself as a fantastic opportunity for an experienced baker or catering business wishing to expand in a thriving market.

"There is further potential to extend the product range and increase trade by offering gluten free and specialist artisan breads and cakes. This is a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to expand on a well performing bakery business."

If you're interested in taking on the businesses, Christie & Co have placed both bakeries on the market for offers of around £615,000.
