Popular Edinburgh chippy where locals enjoyed fish and chips for 40 years up for sale

A popular Edinburgh chippy in a spot where locals have headed for fish and chips for more than 40 years has hit the market.

Sam’s Fry, on Milton Road West, took over from The Milton Fry in February 2024. The business, which has a weekly turnover averages in excess of £8,000, is available with a price of £120000 for the leasehold.

Sam’s Fry has a menu that includes fish and chips, pizzas, burgers, kebabs, pastas, calzones, wraps and pakoras, and a 4.3 out of 5 rating on Google.

A listing for the chippy on RightBiz reads: “Sam’s Fry operates as a traditional fish and chip shop following on what was known as The Milton Fry which had traded from these premises for over 40 years.

“An enviable trading location on one of Edinburgh’s busiest thoroughfares, the business benefits from significant passing trade as well as offering collection and deliveries. Sam’s has a wide and varied menu with all the traditional fried foods on offer along with pizza, pasta, kebabs and burgers.

“There is potential to look at expanding a lunchtime offering due to the recent closing of the café next door and being converted to an alternative business. There is good daytime footfall due to the proximity of a nearby High School. The shop has the benefit of an off sales licence and can trade until midnight.”
