A 'VIRAL' restaurant which has been up for sale for seven months has had its price slashed by 70 per cent.

Jurassic Grill, a unique dinosaur-themed eatery at the Loch Lomond Shores, hit the market in July, more than two years after opening.

Originally priced at offers over £350,000, estate agents Blacks Brokers said the establishment has an annual turnover of £746,076 and seven years remaining on its lease.

They described the business as popular with families and tourists and said the business has a 'viral' social media presence.

Seven months on, the business is now being marketed at just £99,950.

Founded in 2019 by Jozef Mordawska and Natalie Matts, Jurassic Grill has expanded to Kettering, Northamptonshire and Whiteley near Fareham. 

All four restaurants are known for their lavish prehistoric-style decoration and dinosaur-themed menus, while the Loch Lomond venue also includes the UK’s first Ice Age-themed cocktail and dessert bar.

Situated within the Loch Lomond Shores Shopping Centre in Balloch, the restaurant seats a total of 150 customers indoors and 84 outdoors.

The listing reads: "This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly distinctive and widely recognised themed restaurant, Jurassic Grill, which has garnered substantial social media presence and customer acclaim since its inception in 2022.

"The business was founded with a clear and focused concept: to deliver a truly immersive, dinosaur-themed dining experience that appeals to families, tourists and themed attraction enthusiasts alike.

"The concept has proven to be a major success, especially on platforms such as TikTok, where multiple videos have achieved viral status – with one particular clip nearing one million views.

"The owner is now seeking to divest for personal reasons unrelated to the performance of the business, presenting a strong opportunity for an incoming operator to continue its growth trajectory or potentially expand the brand further."
