Greenock is a town in Inverclyde located 26 miles West of Glasgow. The town is the administrative centre of Inverclyde Council and forms part of a contiguous urban area with Gourock to the West and Port Glasgow to the East.

Greenock has a population of c.41,000 with 10 primary schools, three high schools and a large college. There is also a large commercial area mainly located around the regenerated waterfront area.

There are numerous rail and roads linking it to the nearest city Glasgow and beyond.

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a development site with Planning Permission granted for the erection of two retail units. Plans show main convenience store with internal size of 2,648sq.ft (246 sq.m) including storage and secondary retail unit with internal size of 721sq.ft (67 sq.m). The site is strategically located directly across the road from the West College Scotland campus which many students attend on a daily basis. Also nearby is the Greenock West Station with trains to and from Glasgow every 30 minutes.

The prime site would be perfect for a corporate entity to build a town centre store although any independent operator with the means to build would also see it as a great opportunity to build and run a store themselves or potentially build then rent out both units. Potential remains to apply for a variation to the plans if a buyer wished to change use from retail to hospitality / class 3 (STPP).

Other notable businesses nearby are The Range and B&M, with the Greenock Sheriff Court a five minute walk. Nelson Street leads to the A78 which connects Greenock to Gourock and Port Glasgow, and has a steady stream of traffic heading towards the Waterfront area.
