Village store at beauty spot on world-famous tourist route goes on market

The Business Partnership said that The Durness Shop is “not your average convenience store”, adding: “The village of Durness is wild and remote and marks the halfway point on the world-famous North Coast 500 route, now one of the ‘top 10 things to do’ in the world.”

“There is ample convenient store front parking and the shop is located next door to one of, if not the most popular campsites on the NC500 route.

The agent added: “The shop is currently branded under the Spar logo, however it is fully independent having no long term commitment to Spar or any other company.

“The owners pride themselves on offering local, ecologically and ethically sourced produce whenever they can.

“Along with all the usual day to day food lines you would expect to see in a business of this nature, there is a focus on providing deli-style, organic, dietary specific and high-quality local produce.

“An excellent selection of freshly baked food to go items and bean to cup coffees are also available daily. Reviews across social media demonstrate how the careful curation of products has been well received by home grown and global travellers alike.”

The Business Partnership said the freehold is available for offers in the region of £645,000.
