Acting on behalf of landlord Esar Retail Investments, Shepherd Chartered Surveyors has leased a 10,300 sq ft self contained retail unit with development potential in Bathgate to Poundmart for 10 years at £50,000 per annum.

Occupied formerly by Woolworth's, the outlet is located at 54/58 George Street within the main commercial pedestrianised retailing street of the town.


David Maxwell, Commercial Surveyor, at J&E Shepherd said: "Despite the turbulent economic times, this deal proves there is still occupier demand for the right type of property in these prominent locations.

"Situated on the east side of George Street, between its junction with Hopetoun Street to the north and Bloomfield Place to the south, the unit is located in a very popular trading location that provides the heart of the retailing centre for Bathgate."

The accommodation comprises an extensive sales area at ground floor level with large storage areas at first floor level. The retail sales area comprises a large open plan area with excellent frontage and numerous entry doors from George Street.
