Executive Summary

Youngs Auld Sweetie Shop offers a rare opportunity to own a profitable business in the heart of Inverness. Ideally located near the Cromarty Firth cruise ship drop-off point, the shop enjoys both strong tourist traffic and a loyal local customer base. Situated in the pedestrianised area of Church Street, close to the Town House on the high street, the shop occupies a ground-floor unit with a rear delivery facility. The business is located near the bustling centre of Inverness, including the historic Old Town, often called the “Capital of the Highlands.” The city has a population of over 50,000, with a shopping catchment area of 10,000 sq. miles and a potential catchment of around 200,000 people. Inverness attracts thousands of visitors during the holiday season, drawn to the Highlands’ natural beauty and historic attractions. The city offers extensive facilities for residents and tourists, including three golf courses, Eden Court Theatre, an indoor swimming complex, two cinemas, ten-pin bowling, and a wide range of evening entertainment venues. As a busy tourist destination, Inverness sees its population swell significantly during the main tourist season, providing strong footfall for retail businesses.
