Sea Salt + Sole has three locations in Aberdeen, one each in Dyce, Bridge of Don and Cove.
The Cove takeaway opened in 2022, eight years after the original branch opened in Dyce.
The Dyce spot was destroyed during a fire in 2016, but owners Rikki and Gillian Pirie rebuilt the business and re-opened less than two years later.
They added the Bridge of Don outlet in 2019, and both shops have won numerous awards and earned fans along the way.
