  • $99,000 plus SAV

Description

Located in the heart of a popular coastal town on the New South Wales South Coast, this café/bookshop is nestled inside a busy arcade along the vibrant Main Street.

Spanning 35m² in size with interior seating for 25 customers plus an additional 4 seats outside, customers can enjoy an inviting atmosphere with bi-fold windows and an impressive eye-catching art deco interior.

Established for six years the business has become a local favourite attracting clientele ranging from residents, local workers and tourists. Situated next door to a primary school and opposite a new residential development there is no shortage of passing trade at all times.

The café offers a popular limited light menu featuring renowned coffee blends, toasted sandwiches, cakes and pasties. All food is currently brought in fully prepared and there is also a full liquor licence in place.

All equipment is fully owned and well maintained throughout including a custom La Marzocco Specht Design Strada coffee machine.

Operating from 8 am to 3 pm on weekdays 8am to 2 pm on Saturdays and closed Sundays, the working owner is supported by two casual staff members.

There is a two-year lease in place with an option to extend for a further two years.

This is a multi-faceted business that includes: – a coffee shop, a bookshop with online ordering, Friday evening music night with occasional private functions plus a monthly book club hosted onsite.

First time to market due to the relocation plans by the current owner, this business stands as an enticing opportunity for someone eager to purchase a highly profitable well-run business with exceptionally low rent. The space would highly suit an owner-operator, couple, barista or booklover and can be managed solely by an experienced barista/operator.

Buyers will recognise this opportunity as one of the very best of its type and take advantage of the lifestyle benefits and strong turnover of an easy to run, local independent business in the South Coast area.

Paul Leach

Hospitality Consultant, Certified Exit Planning Advisor, Licensed Business Broker in NSW, SA, QLD, VIC @ GSE Hospitality Brokers

I grew up in the food business, my parents owned two very successful restaurants. I have fond memories of working alongside them from a very early age.

All through my school years I knew that I wanted to be a part of the hospitality industry and the day that I started at college could not come quickly enough. I spent three enjoyable years learning my trade and left college to join my parents in their second restaurant.

In 1992 my parents decided that the time was right for them to sell up and I felt it was also the right time for me to go out on my own.

In 1993 I opened my first Cafe called “Hogarth’s” and that is where it all began. Over the following 25 years, I built and sold nine food businesses. I loved every minute (well most of it) and learnt a lot about how the sale process works, I also learned some very valuable lessons.

I love the food industry and wanted to crack double digits and open shop number ten, unfortunately, the two things that I value the most in my life, my marriage and my health probably would not have lasted if I had done that so I called it a day

I always felt that there was a better way to sell cafes and food businesses and that is where the idea for GSE came from. My vision was to build a specialist firm of hospitality brokers that could make the sales process as straightforward as possible for the owners of hospitality businesses in Australia.

I am now using the experience I gained selling my own businesses as well as selling a lot of other people’s businesses to lead the team of very talented brokers at GSE.

I would love the opportunity to show you more about how the approach that GSE take can help you to sell your business for the price that you want and on your terms.

If you are looking for a specialist Hospitality Broker who has walked the walk and fully understands the industry and all of the nuances of the sales process then I would love to hear from you.
