A successful convenience franchise opportunity has gone on the market in Glasgow’s Cowcaddens area.
Greens of Cowcaddens is proposed as a Greens Core convenience store, combining day-to-day essentials for local residents with a strong “Greens on the Go” offer aimed at passing trade and the large nearby student population.
Greens is a well-established brand in the Scottish convenience retail sector, currently operating around 30 stores including three with franchised partners, and the Cowcaddens site is being marketed as a five-year sub-lease tied to a franchise agreement.
The leasehold price is listed at £250,000, with forecast weekly sales of £26,000 and an expected annual turnover of around £1.35m, and the operation is billed as high margin with a full fit-out included and completion scheduled for August 2026.

The store will sit within a larger mixed-use development that includes a 301-bed purpose-built student accommodation scheme, a short walk from Glasgow city centre and close to Glasgow Caledonian University, the University of Strathclyde, the UK Passport Office and two car dealerships.
The wider Cowcaddens area is undergoing significant regeneration, with major residential and mixed-use projects such as 144 Port Dundas Road, One Cowcaddens, new student accommodation at 200 Renfield Street and a proposed redevelopment of the former fire station all expected to drive future footfall and demand.
Agents say franchisees will benefit from “industry-leading support” across buying, operational excellence, marketing and established in-store brands, making the opportunity suitable for both experienced convenience retailers and those new to the sector, with further details available on request.
