Employees
Currently owner-operated with casual staff as required. Staffing levels can be adjusted depending on trading hours and how the new owners choose to operate the business.
Reason for Sale
After nine years of building and operating Country Post & Bistro, the time has come for our family to move into a new chapter. We are proud of what we have created and would genuinely love to see the business continue within the Glencoe community under new ownership.
About the Business
Country Post & Bistro presents a rare opportunity to purchase an established multi-income business, substantial freehold property and attached three-bedroom residence in the heart of Glencoe, South Australia.
The business brings together a Licensed Australia Post Office, general store/convenience store, takeaway food and coffee, fuel including unleaded and diesel, bottle shop, Swap’n’Go Gas and a separate licensed bistro, creating multiple established income streams from the one location.
Set on approximately 5,400m² of freehold land, the property includes an attached three-bedroom residence, separate licensed bistro building, commercial kitchen and equipment, ample customer parking, paddock and outdoor space, along with a 10kW solar system.
One of the greatest advantages of Country Post & Bistro is the flexibility it offers a new owner. The business can continue operating across its existing services, be simplified to create a more relaxed lifestyle, or be further developed by expanding the bistro, takeaway, catering and other areas of the business.
The separate bistro provides particularly strong potential for an owner wanting to grow the hospitality side of the business, while those seeking a different pace could focus primarily on the Post Office, general store and other core services. The opportunity is there to shape the business around your own goals, lifestyle and preferred trading hours.
The attached residence also provides the convenience of living and working from the same property, making this an attractive opportunity for a family, couple or owner-operator wanting to make a genuine move to country living while operating their own business.
Glencoe is a close-knit Limestone Coast community with a local primary school and kindergarten, while Mount Gambier is approximately 25 minutes away. The business has an established local customer base and plays an important role in providing everyday services to the surrounding community.
After nine years of family ownership, we are looking for genuine purchasers who can see the opportunity in what has been established and who would like to take Country Post & Bistro into its next chapter.
Detailed financial and business information is available to genuine purchasers following completion of a Buyer Confidentiality Agreement.
Country Post & Bistro operates as a Licensed Post Office (LPO). The successful purchaser will be required to complete Australia Post's application, approval and licence transfer requirements.
History
Country Post & Bistro has been owned and operated by our family for the past nine years. During that time, the business has continued to grow and evolve, including the addition of the separate licensed bistro and an expanded range of products and services. It has been both our family home and business, and we are proud of the strong connection it has built within the Glencoe community.
