East Lothian convenience store sold for the first time in 38 years
Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co has successfully completed the sale of the Wee Shop, a convenience store in Tranent, East Lothian.
Situated on Blawearie Road, the store is surrounded by a large mix of residential properties and is a cherished business among the local community.
The store has been owned and run by James Thomson for over 38 years, who recently decided to sell to retire.
James comments, “Liam and Christie & Co were extremely helpful in managing the sale of our business. We were happy that our asking price was achieved and would recommend Christie & Co to anyone looking to sell their retail business.”
The Wee Shop has been purchased by Deepak Kumar who has moved from Wales to take over and run the business.
