Located inside Woolworths at Mercato Shopping Centre, this Sushi Izu franchise benefits from consistent supermarket foot traffic, strong visibility and a convenient retail environment.
About the Opportunity
This business is ideal for a hands on owner operator, couple, family operator or experienced food business owner looking for a structured food business with the support of an established national sushi brand. Sushi Izu operates under the AFC franchise system and is known for providing fresh sushi and Japanese style meals in convenient supermarket locations across Australia.
A major benefit of this opportunity is the Woolworths based location. The business benefits from regular supermarket customer traffic, strong visibility and the convenience of operating within an established retail environment. Unlike many independent food businesses, there is no separate shop lease to manage and no separate rent, utility bills, electricity, water, gas, common area costs or standard shop outgoings.
The business operates through a monthly commission structure. Customer payments are processed through Woolworths, and the operator receives payment through a monthly commission statement. The general structure is total sales, less Woolworths and franchise related fees, less ingredient costs, with the remaining commission paid to the business. From this commission, the owner is responsible for staff wages and direct operating costs.
The business has existing trading history, established systems, supplier processes and daily operating procedures. Financial records, Profit and Loss information and commission statements are available to genuine buyers after initial enquiry and discussion.
The incoming owner will need to meet Sushi Izu/AFC franchise transfer requirements. This includes being a permanent resident of Australia, being approved by the franchisor, completing the required application process, paying any applicable franchise or transfer fees, and entering into the required franchise agreement. The franchise agreement term is understood to be 5 years, subject to final confirmation with Sushi Izu/AFC.
Overall, this is a great opportunity to acquire a structured food franchise business inside Woolworths, with no separate rent or utility burden, existing operating systems, franchise support and regular supermarket customer traffic.
Serious enquiries only. Further information can be provided to genuine buyers.
