A historic Scottish furniture retail and removal business has been brought to the market.
The business is described as a “beloved institution” and the family who own it aims to find the right buyer to continue to serve the community.
Alastair Donald, of the Consultancy Network, is handling the sale of Bremners of Foggie, Aberchirder, Aberdeenshire.
The agent said: “This marks a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, multi-faceted business with deep roots in the local community. After over a century of dedicated service, the Bremner family has made the difficult decision to sell the business, seeking a new owner who will continue its proud legacy.
“Established in 1924, Bremners of Foggie has been a cornerstone of the community, known for its exceptional customer service and quality offerings.
“The business began as a small local shop, providing the finest goods to the people of Aberdeenshire. Over the years, it has evolved and diversified, now encompassing a highly respected retail shop, a well-established removal service, and several other key services that support the community.”
The Bremner family has maintained a “steadfast commitment to quality and customer care”.
