Own a Piece of Scottish History ✨🍞

We’re thrilled to present a rare opportunity to acquire Alexander Taylor Bakery - Scotland’s oldest bakery, with over 200 years of heritage behind it. For the first time in its two-century history, this beloved corner of Strathaven is on the market. 

📍 Why this is a standout opportunity:
• Turnover over £750,000/year, with gross margins around 75% - a solid, profitable foundation. 
• Two iconic high-street premises: a bustling café & deli on one corner, and a full production bakery & retail shop directly opposite - both with strong footfall and deep community roots. 
• A loyal customer base and experienced team already in place - meaning a new owner can step in and continue trading smoothly. 
• Plenty of growth potential: think digital ordering, wholesale supply, catering, and tapping into the bakery’s rich story to build on brand value. 

Ready for a new chapter?
Whether you’re passionate about traditional baking or looking for a profitable hospitality investment with heritage and growth potential, this is one of the most compelling offers on the market.

It's fair to say that lots of business activities lose momentum over the course of the summer. Think about the summer of 2025 when the UK have had;

😎 Glorious weather (not always a reliable thing in the UK)
🎾 Wimbledon fortnight
⚽️ Women's Euros
⛳️ The Open golf
🏝️ Even Oasis has been a distraction for some (sorry no bucket hat emoji's)

Add to this holidays and childcare conundrums and you begin to realise that it's not surprising the momentum of some business sales starts to slow.

In our latest blog we look at the signs to watch for and how you can help keep things moving.

Thanks goes to Scott Witham and his team at Design UK who worked with us to create our fresh new branding.

We worked through many, many combinations and subtle design differences to arrive with at new logo that is central to taking our business forward for years to come.

Nothing was too much trouble and we got some great advice and guidance during the process.

And as with any good design company, they've provided us with a suite of logos and avatars to be used in a variety of mediums and background colours.

Thank you. 😁
