Location Details

Placed on the esplanade opposite a busy caravan park and surrounded by hotels and apartments, there is plenty of off street parking and easy accesss.
Potential
The store has great potential for growth with the right motivated owner. We currently run a 2nd business and also for personal reasons we are unable to give this our full attention.
There is the potential to greatly grow the takeaway food side and the dessert bar. We have had so many ideas and sadly just not enough time.
Skills
No skills are required, full training and handover period can be done if required.
Hours
The shop is currently open from
7am - 7pm
7 days a week
Lease

Employees
We currently have 4 seniors and 3 juniors on the books.
The business is staffed from 3.15 Tuesday - Friday, all day Saturday, Sunday & Monday
Reason for Sale
Due to being over committed to another business and my Husband needing surgery in the near future we have decided to sell.
About the Business
We have been running the business for 2.5 years.
We currently run essential lines of groceries, cold drinks and a small range of hot box and hot food options (I feel this would be the greatest opportunity to grow)
Being a high tourist area we get a good range of seasonal tourist and locals alike. Hervey Bay is famous for its whale watching which runs approximately 3 months of the year, as well as being a popular spot for school holidays.
There are a number of ways the business could grow, we have put in a lot of ground work to set up our POS for online ordering which we have never launched. Also we had great plans to expand the ice creamery and dessert bar with more options and epic sundaes. Also sadly we haven't had time to implement these.
All the hard work and ground work is done for someone to walk in and take advantage of our hard work.
History
When we took over the business we fully refurbished the shop fit out, freshly painted, new oven, new cold rooms & new fridges
The business itself has been in the same building for over 20 years.
