About the Opportunity
This is a rare chance to step into a profitable and well-established independent bookshop in the heart of Mildura. Collins Booksellers Mildura is ideally located in the busy Langtree Mall, surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and other local businesses, ensuring consistent foot traffic and strong community engagement.
The store is a cornerstone of the local literary scene and is the only dedicated bookshop servicing Mildura and surrounding regions. It boasts a loyal customer base and a reputation for expert service, including sourcing rare and hard-to-find titles.
The carefully curated range spans contemporary and classic literature, Australian fiction and non-fiction, First Nations voices, children’s educational books, poetry, travel, art, and philosophy.

History
The store was founded in the 1980s as Book City under the direction of David Quail who then sold it to Birchip-born school teacher John Bond in the mid 1990s. John continued his business under the same name until 2010 when it was taken on by the Collins franchise and became Collins Booksellers Mildura. On 30 October 2020, locally born Donata Carrazza bought the business, seeing an excellent opportunity to combine her love of literature and her work with the Mildura Writers Festival in to the new venture.
