A family has sold a "well-performing" traditional fish and chip shop in a historic Scottish town.
It comes after the operator established the takeaway as âone of the best in the areaâ.
Cornerstone Business Agents handled the leasehold sale of Celloâs Fish and Chip Shop in Larbert, near Stirling.
David Higgins, director of Cornerstone Business Agents, said: âThis was originally a Harry Ramsden's unit, the first take away I believe in Scotland but the offering did not seem to work here until our client Marcello took over the business in 2017 and established it as one of the best in the area.
âHaving sold a fish and chip shop in Peebles for Marcello's father, Mario a few years ago it was great to act for the Ventre family again with this one and now Mario can definitely retire after helping out here since his sale.
âBest of luck to Riccardo with his new business, looking back we spoke three days after the business went on the market, six months later we got there.â
The town of Larbert has a long history that includes Roman occupation.
The value of the deal was not disclosed but the premises were marketed at a leasehold guide price of ÂŁ135,000, and an ÂŁ18,000 annual rent.

New Scottish distillery hails double whisky launch
A new Scottish distillery has hailed the launch of two whiskies.
The whiskies are launched along with the chance to invest in a cask at an open day with the whisky maker in person and other events on Saturday.
The first new whisky release is the Inverdarach âArdgowan Open Day 2024â which is a 2013 vintage Highland Single Malt bottled at 10 years old.
