Location Details
Anywhere you are.
Potential
Fully built and ready to trade — the new owner simply needs to order stock and open the doors. 120+ products already loaded across two established supplier relationships (Stagg & Co and Burleigh Chilli Co). The BBQ and live-fire cooking market is growing strongly in Australia, driven by social media and content creators. Revenue streams available from day one: direct retail, gifting, and seasonal promotions. Strong room to grow the social following, add further brands to the catalogue, and expand into wholesale or marketplace channels.
Skills
No technical skills required — the store is fully built and the platform (Shopify) is intuitive. A new owner needs basic computer literacy to manage orders, restock suppliers and respond to customers. Social media confidence is helpful but not essential — accounts are active and a content calendar is already in place. Passion for food, BBQ or outdoor lifestyle is a genuine advantage. All supplier contacts, login credentials and design assets transfer with the sale.
Hours
Flexible. Estimated 5–15 hrs/week to manage orders, social posts and supplier reorders. Scales with sales volume.
Lease
No lease. Fully online business — 100% home-operated. No warehouse or retail premises required.
Employees
No employees. Currently owner-operated. Can be run solo from home. As order volume grows, casual fulfilment or customer service support could be added at the new owner's discretion.
Reason for Sale
Charcoal Republic was built as a passion project with the intention of operating it full-time. Competing priorities have meant the owner is unable to commit the time the business deserves. The store is complete and has strong potential in the right hands — the decision to sell is entirely personal and not a reflection of the business or its prospects. No debt, no disputes, no stock liabilities. A clean sale of a ready-to-trade digital asset.
About the Business
Charcoal Republic Australia is a premium online BBQ and fire-cooking store built from the ground up on Shopify. The business is 100% complete and ready to trade — not a concept or work-in-progress. Everything required to start taking orders is in place, with the exception of physical stock.
The store features a professionally designed storefront with custom homepage sections, a branded product carousel, individual brand pages, and a complete product catalogue. The Shopify theme has been customised with bespoke sections that would cost several thousand dollars to replicate with a developer.
PRODUCTS & CATALOGUE
120+ products are loaded and active across two supplier relationships:
Stagg & Co — An Australian distributor representing 15 premium BBQ brands from Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Brands include Butchers Axe BBQ (award-winning competition rubs), The Four Saucemen (multi-award-winning NZ glazes and rubs), Atomic Chicken, Low 'n' Slow Basics, Booma's BBQ, Sins Que, Stef the Maori, Natural Smoke BBQ Woods, Carolina Smoke, Smokes Seasoning, Smoky Pastures, BBQ Adelaide, Dr Jays, and 3099 Jerky & Co. All 15 brand collections are built, SEO-optimised, and live.
Burleigh Chilli Co — A Gold Coast hot sauce brand using 100% Australian ingredients. Full range loaded with a custom homepage feature section.
SEO
Title tags and meta descriptions are written for every collection, the home page, and all supporting pages — one of the most time-consuming parts of launching an e-commerce store, already done.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Active Instagram and Facebook accounts included. A launch content campaign has been created with professional product photography assets. First posts are live.
BRAND
A complete brand identity — logo, colour system, typography — applied consistently across the store and socials. Positioned at the premium end of the Australian BBQ market.
Full handover includes all platform credentials, supplier contacts, design files and a walkthrough of operations.
History
Charcoal Republic Australia was established by a Queensland-based entrepreneur with a background in sales and a passion for BBQ and live-fire cooking. Built with the intention of becoming Australia's premier online destination for premium charcoal, rubs, sauces and BBQ accessories. The store, brand, and supplier relationships were developed from scratch. This is a pre-revenue sale of a fully built digital asset — no trading history, no liabilities, no complications.
