Specialist business property adviser Christie & Co has been instructed to market Drummore Stores on Mill Street in Drummore, near Stranraer.
Business. Built around You.
Often described as the most southerly shop and post office in Scotland, Drummore Stores is a local convenience store serving residents and visitors to the seaside village and acting as an important hub for the local community.
Drummore offers stunning views of the Irish Sea and is known for its peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty.
The adjoining residential property at 22 Mill Street is also included in the sale and has historically been used as a family home for the owners of the shop.
For over 50 years, the shop has been owned by Bill and Tina Adye, who moved to Drummore from England after visiting the area on holiday, and deciding to buy the shop and relocate permanently. Bill and Tina have decided to sell and enjoy their well-deserved retirement while staying in the village, handing the reins of the store over to a new owner.
Bill commented, “After more than five decades at the heart of this wonderful community, Tina and I feel it’s the right time to enjoy our retirement while remaining in the village we love. Drummore Stores has been a huge part of our lives, and we are proud of the role it has played in serving local residents and visitors alike.
“We look forward to seeing new custodians take over and enjoy the store as much as we have, continuing its tradition as a vital hub for the area. We are delighted to be working with specialist business property adviser Christie & Co to ensure a smooth transition and find the right buyer to carry the business forward.”
Martin Ward, Business Agent – Retail at Christie & Co, is managing the sale process and commented, “We expect this opportunity to appeal to individuals seeking a quiet rural lifestyle in a peaceful location whilst operating one of the hubs of the village and being part of a fantastic local community.
“Nestled on the stunning Rhins of Galloway peninsula, Drummore is Scotland’s most southerly village, a coastal haven with sweeping views of Luce Bay and the Mull of Galloway. If you’re looking for a slower pace of life, fresh sea air, and a welcoming community, Drummore is the perfect place to call home.”
The store is on the market with an asking price of £335,000. For more information, visit: https://www.christie.com/6811113/
