About the Business
Ready for a sea change and the opportunity to own one of Norfolk Island's most recognised retail businesses?
With over 60 years of history, The Norfolk Emporium is a well established leasehold business combining a thriving retail store, in house embroidery production and an established workwear and uniform service.
Ideally located in the heart of Norfolk Island's shopping precinct, the business enjoys a strong reputation with both locals and the thousands of visitors who travel to the island each year.
The Norfolk Emporium offers an extensive range of Norfolk Island souvenirs, gifts, clothing and merchandise, alongside selected workwear and uniforms. A standout feature is its in house production, allowing custom embroidery and personalised products to be created on site using four commercial embroidery machines included in the sale.
The business also has an established workwear and uniform division, including an ongoing agreement supplying uniforms to the local school, providing a reliable year round income in addition to the tourism trade.
With multiple revenue streams, an established customer base, valuable plant and equipment and low overheads, this is a genuine walk in, walk out opportunity with plenty of room for future growth.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Over 60 years of successful trading
- Prime central location
- Strong reputation with locals and tourists
- Four commercial embroidery machines included
- Established in house designs and production
- Existing school uniform supply agreement
- Multiple income streams
- Low rent with a long term lease available
- Owner operated with only one staff member
- Full training and handover provided
Business Features:
- Spacious retail showroom
- Newly painted with new carpet throughout
- Commercial embroidery equipment included
- Established supplier relationships
- Streamlined inventory systems
- Customer parking
- Proven product range with existing designs
Live the Norfolk Island Lifestyle:
Owning The Norfolk Emporium is about more than buying a business. It is an opportunity to enjoy a unique island lifestyle.
Run a successful business while enjoying a slower pace of life, a welcoming community and spectacular natural surroundings. Whether you are seeking a lifestyle change, semi retirement or a family business, this opportunity offers the flexibility to work as little or as much as you choose.
A full comprehensive handover and training with the embroidery machines will be provided.
History
With over 60 years of history, The Norfolk Emporium has become a well known destination for both visitors and locals. The business has evolved over the decades while maintaining its strong connection to Norfolk Island, offering visitors a range of unique island themed products and locally relevant merchandise. Its long standing presence and established reputation make it a recognised part of the island’s retail landscape.
