Cumnock: Prime Prep business to open on Lugar Street this week

Prime Prep, located in the town's Lugar Street, is the creation of business team Colleen Young and Kriss Steven.

It aims to create fast and healthy meals to give people a healthier alternative to a takeaway.

Colleen initially joined Kriss for personal training sessions around a year ago, and after seeing the results starting to pay off, Colleen started creating recipes for friends and family to try out.

After receiving positive feedback about her meals, Colleen decided to team up with Kriss and idea for Prime Prep was born.

"It's something different like this that I think Cumnock needed," Colleen said.

"You've got plenty of takeaway options in the town. Don't get me wrong, a takeaway is great every so often, but we thought people might be looking for something a wee different.

"It gives people the option for a change."

They officially got the keys to the shop in January, and months of hard work and labour has led to their official opening this Thursday, May 4.

The Prime Prep team had a 'soft opening' for people to come along and see what was on offer and place their orders.

After a more than successful trial night, the team are all set for their grand opening this week.

Colleen said: "The shop has been lying empty for years, so it's taken us a few months to get it to the way we want.

"It's exciting but nerve-racking at the same time.

"This is completely out of my comfort zone.

"I was a hairdresser and nail technician. I've always loved cooking, but it wasn't until I got into losing weight and realising that my nutrition was more important.

"It's a big step, but you don't get anywhere in life if you're not going to try."
