Boulevard

Almondvale Parkway, Livingston, EH54 6QT

A GREAT FOOD LED OPPORTUNITY

A large Food led pub, situated in Livingston Retail Park the Boulevard is a 160 cover restaurant with small function room and bar area. The Boulevard currently operates as a premium mainstream food site with sports and bar area plus function trade. The function space hosts birthdays, funerals and celebrations throughout the year. The sales split is 80/20 in favour of food. The new operator will need food experience and an understanding of driving destination trade. Developing the offer over and above the food element whilst showing a good understanding of social media and digital marketing strategies will be critical to success.

Location

The Boulevard is found within the grounds of Livingston retail park and is a stones throw from Livingston FC.

BDM Portrait

I am looking for someone to develop the local and destination trade to the area with multiple revenue streams. Appeal to multiple demographics and share a business plan that is adaptable throughout the week. A strong business identity is very helpful at this site with many big competitors in close range.
