Just Delicious is an established and profitable, leasehold, deli/sandwich shop business which has been operating successfully since its start up over the past twelve years in this marvellous High Street Location in the heart of Grantown's main shopping thoroughfare in the Cairngorms National Park. Our client is looking to retire and currently operates a thriving deli/sandwich business with ice cream takeaway after scaling down from selling a range of preserves, pastries and baking and other produce together with branded and speciality foods as well as table service for twenty two covers.
