Location:

Old Kilpatrick to Dumbarton, Lomondgate

Description:

This key location on the edge of Dumbarton is being developed to support the nearby business park and residential developments as well as passing trade on this important tourist route.

The 60 bed Dumbarton Premier Inn is a key element in this roadside services development, providing accommodation in a key location between Glasgow and Loch Lomond.

Alongside the hotel the Brewers' Fayre restaurant, Malt and Myre, has opened, providing restaurant services for the hotel, as well as travellers and people who live and work nearby.

Between the Premier Inn and the Brewers' Fayre restaurant, 50 jobs will be created.

A drive through Costa Coffee is now completed and open on the site, creating a further 20 jobs. It is the first drive through Costa in Scotland and only the fourth in the UK. The 1,850 sq ft outlet, which was built by contractors on behalf of the Walker Group and handed over for fit out by Costa at the end of October, features a striking curved building offering seating both indoors and outside for around 100 people.

 

Current status:

Whitbread's £4.1m, 60-bedroom Premier Inn hotel and family pub/restaurant opened for business in January 2011.

The Costa Drive Thru is complete and opened for business in February 2012.

In October 2013 the UK's fastest growing forecourt operator, Euro Garages, agreed to purchase a 1.1 acre site at Lomondgate in Dumbarton, forming a key element of the £135m development's roadside services.

Negotiations are continuing to attract further leading brand names through agents Cushman & Wakefield.

Timescale:

2010 - 2013

Cost:

£5.5m
