An exceptional opportunity to acquire a renowned fourth-generation family butchers in the heart of Elgin, trading since 1889 and from the same premises since 1932.
JC Dawson Butchers is one of the town’s longest-standing and most respected retailers, combining heritage with award-winning modern products. The business is being offered for sale due to a genuine retirement and includes the freehold property, fixtures, fittings, goodwill, and trading name.
The business is predominantly retail-led (c.90%), with additional supply to local restaurants. It is especially well known for its award-winning burgers, sausages, pies and steak burgers, holding multiple Diamond and industry awards.
The shop benefits from a highly skilled team of five staff, with the current owner and his wife supporting the operation. Seasonal peaks, particularly at Christmas and New Year, provide strong boosts to an already well-established year-round trade.
Situated on Batchen Street, just off Elgin High Street, the property lies within the town’s independent retail quarter and conservation area, benefiting from consistent local and visitor footfall.
This is a rare chance to acquire a truly established butcher business with heritage, reputation, and freehold ownership.
