Google MapsOne of Scotland’s last three Wimpy restaurants in operation has been put up for sale.
The most northerly Wimpy restaurant in the UK, on Dingwall High Street, has been family-run for more than 30 years.
Now, the “local institution” has been put on the market for £159,000.
According to the listing, it boasts an annual turnover of £260,000 and has “growing destination appeal”.
Only two other Wimpy restaurants remain in Scotland, in Kilmarnock and Fraserburgh. The first UK store was opened in Lyon’s Corner House in London in 1954.
The restaurant chain, the first in the UK to serve hamburger-based meals, has just 61 branches remaining.
The listing states: “Trading successfully for over 30 years, Wimpy Dingwall has become far more than simply a restaurant; it is a genuine local institution with a loyal multi-generational customer base, strong community presence, and growing destination appeal.
“As the most northerly Wimpy restaurant in the United Kingdom, the business benefits not only from consistent local trade but also from increasing numbers of customers actively travelling to visit.
“The business is ideally positioned to benefit from the continued growth of Highland tourism, including NC500 visitors, cruise liner passengers arriving into nearby Invergordon, and the wider popularity of the Highlands as an international destination.”
