Reason for Sale
The job and van layout are truly rewarding, ergonomically designed and embraced by a warm local community. Promoting the sale has been a tough decision. The vendor, experiencing burnout and a lack of work/life balance, plans a lengthy break—long overdue after dedicating themselves to the business for the better part of two decades.
About the Business
This business offers a unique mobile coffee experience, featuring handcrafted, highly acclaimed coffee served with friendly customer service. The core products include a variety of sweets, cakes and pre made drinks, together with coffee beverages crafted from a high-end NS Aurelia Wave T3 Coffee Machine, Mazzer Robur coffee grinder and freshly roasted coffee beans from a micro 2kg Solar Shop Roaster with Avirnaki. The service is enhanced by a pre-ordering platform and face-to-face interaction, emphasizing speed and efficiency.
The 2005 Ford Transit Van, custom-built by ambulance fitout specialists, serves as the platform for operations, equipped with features like built in air-conditioning, floor heating, stainless steel workspace, dual sink, built-in hot water system, dual display glass drinks fridge, and more. The van operates without a traditional POS system, relying on Eftpos support and traditional methods.
Additionally, the business extends beyond the van with an intertwined roastery producing small-batch, expertly roasted coffee beans. The roastery, with over a decade of experience, ensures a signature espresso blend adaptable to seasonal changes.
The uniqueness of this business lies in its comprehensive offerings, including a relocatable coffee van, custom roastery, the potential for expansion to a 7-day operation and local and interstate events. The emphasis on community, sustainability (offering purely biodegradable takeaway), and quality products positions it as a distinctive and potentially lucrative investment.
