About the Business

Outstanding Opportunity to Own a Top-Tier Chatime Store in a High-Traffic Newcastle Hotspot

Established in 2018, Chatime Kotara was the first bubble tea store to open in Westfield Kotara and quickly became a local favourite. With six years of strong goodwill, an excellent team, and a strategic location in the rooftop dining precinct, this business is a proven performer and a standout opportunity for a hands-on owner.

Key Business Highlights:
- Established in 2018 with 6 years of goodwill and a loyal customer base
- Consistently ranked in the Top 10 nationally and Top 5 in NSW within the Chatime franchise network
- Prime location – diagonally opposite Timezone and the cinema, next to Sushi Train, between two escalators, with rooftop carpark foot traffic
- Simple takeaway model – low overheads, no dine-in or complex kitchen operations
- Fully trained team in place, with the ability to operate the store autonomously
- Strong local following, including school communities and Westfield shoppers
- Late trading hours – aligned with surrounding restaurants and entertainment venues
- 4.5 years remaining on the lease in a premium shopping centre

Why Are We Selling?
The current owner is focusing on new business ventures in Sydney and New Zealand and can no longer dedicate the time this business deserves. With renewed local ownership and focus, there’s clear potential for further growth.

Who This Business Would Suit:
- A hands-on owner-operator ready to drive daily performance and community engagement
- A local entrepreneur looking to step into a turnkey operation backed by Australia’s most recognised bubble tea brand
- A hospitality enthusiast seeking a simple, scalable business model with strong brand support

Opportunities for Growth:
- Increase owner involvement to boost staff performance and customer service
- Reignite local marketing and school partnerships to increase foot traffic and community presence
- Leverage social media and delivery platforms to capture a wider customer base
- Introduce new product promotions and upselling strategies to grow average transaction value
