Beachside Central Coast Supermarket $1.25M Revenue, 39% Margin

About the Business

Most supermarkets take over your life. This one provides lifestyle and income with the benefit of whale watching from inside the store.

An independent supermarket on the Central Coast, about 90 minutes from Sydney, trading from the same beachside location for decades. This year it turned over $1.25M at a 39% gross margin. That's close to $500,000 in gross profit, on a lean team and stock model.

The numbers

- Annual revenue $1.25M, up on last year and backed by POS data

- Gross margin 39%, gross profit close to $500,000

- Stock at settlement around $30k+, on top of the price

- Asking price $498,000 + SAV

The lifestyle

The store trades 7 days. The owner works Monday to Friday, 7am to 3pm, and a trained team covers afternoons and weekends. Seven days of trade, five days of your time.

Key highlights

- Systems and processes in place, so you're not starting from scratch

- New POS, CCTV, shelving and equipment already invested in

- Card merchant fees recently renegotiated down to 1.18%

- No direct competition in the immediate trade area

- High-frequency, repeat local customer base

- New 5 year lease from June 2026 now in place, plus a further 5 year option

Room to grow

With the owner off the floor by 3pm, there's room to extend hours, build the coffee and deli offering, add lotto and post office services, and lift basket size through an expanded range.

This suits an owner-operator who wants strong income and a coastal lifestyle without the 60-hour week. Retail experience is not required, with the systems, team and supplier relationships already in place. Enquiries are invited from genuine buyers.
