BUSINESS
Situated in the heart of Kirkwall, just a minute’s walk from the waterfront, Busters occupies a prime spot close to shops, hotels, and the scenic harbourfront. The décor channels classic American diner charm—cozy yet lively, with retro touches, warm lighting, and comfy booths that make it perfect for families and groups.
Busters offers a mix of hearty American‑style comfort food with British influences, using local ingredients whenever possible. This profitable business has been under the current ownership for 15 years and is very popular within the local community for both sit in and takeaway.
There is a potential to expand opening hours to include lunchtime service.
A premium is sought of £60,000.
