A POPULAR fish and chip shop in a Scottish city has been put up for sale.
Franco’s Fish and Chip Shop in Stockbridge in Edinburgh is on the market as the operator looks to concentrate on a separate restaurant business.
They first took over the premises seven years ago after the previous owner had occupied the location for 46 years.

Cornerstone Business agents said: “Franco’s Fish and Chip Shop trades from a prominent location on Comely Bank Road which becomes Raeburn Place and is the main thoroughfare running through the highly desirable Edinburgh suburb of Stockbridge.
“The area is very popular with a wide and varied selection of restaurants, bars, cafes and quality retail businesses situated along the main street and the roads leading off.”
The leasehold is available at a guide price of £65,000 with an annual rent of £57,500.
The agent added: “Stockbridge enjoys an enviable reputation within the city as one of the outstanding locations to trade from, especially popular with smaller independent businesses.
“The popular Stockbridge Market also attracts footfall to the area, as does a recent development on Raeburn Place.”
It added that the business had been placed on the market “reluctantly” as the owner looked to concentrate on another restaurant he owns.
“The shop trades very well offering the usual range of fried foods along with pizzas, pastas, kebabs and burgers both counter sales or via delivery.
“There is scope to develop what is already a very desirable business which is located in an area that benefits from heavy footfall all year round and especially during the times that the Neighbourhood and Stockbridge Markets are trading.”

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
