After an impressive 52 years serving the Crieff community, the iconic Naismith’s barbershop, affectionately known as Johnny the Barbers, on East High Street is preparing for a change of ownership as its long-standing proprietor embarks on a well-deserved retirement.
The news, which recently circulated through the town and online, has prompted a wave of warm wishes from Crieff residents, many of whom shared nostalgic stories and expressed gratitude for the barber’s decades of service. The shop has been a fixture in the town, witnessing generations grow up and offering a consistent, friendly space for a trim and a chat. It’s a testament to the owner’s dedication and the strong sense of community in Crieff. A Prime Opportunity for Aspiring Barbers or Entrepreneurs
This presents a unique opportunity for someone to step into established shoes and continue the Naismith’s legacy. The 214sq ft unit is perfectly equipped for a seamless transition, with all the necessary barbershop fittings ready for immediate use. The sale includes the shop’s front area, a rear office space, a convenient kitchenette, and a WC, offering all the essentials for a functioning business.
But the possibilities don’t end there. The prime location on East High Street, known for its bustling activity and foot traffic, also makes it an attractive prospect for those looking to establish a completely new enterprise. The space could be reimagined to suit a variety of businesses, capitalizing on the vibrant atmosphere of Crieff town centre. This could be anything from a small boutique or a specialty food store to a cozy cafe, adding another dimension to the local business landscape. More Than Just a Business, a Piece of Crieff History
For over half a century, Naismith’s has been more than just a barbershop; it’s been a hub for local conversations, shared stories, and community connections. The owner’s commitment to his craft and his customers has created a lasting impact on Crieff, and the new owner will have the chance to build on this rich history. This is a rare opportunity to not just own a business, but to become a part of the fabric of the town, much like the nearby Drummond Castle Gardens are to the region’s cultural heritage or the annual Crieff Highland Gathering is to its vibrant community spirit.
Lindsays is handling the marketing of the property, inviting offers over £25,000. This comes as another local business, G’s Bistro, also on East High Street, is listed for sale, marking a period of transition in the Crieff business community. While these changes are bittersweet, they underscore the constant evolution of our towns and open doors for new entrepreneurs and fresh ideas to flourish.
