About the Opportunity
Take ownership of an established Lone Star Rib House & Brews franchise in the heart of Townsville's renowned Palmer Street dining precinct. Surrounded by hotels, cafés, bars and major attractions, this prime location enjoys strong foot traffic from locals, tourists and business travellers year-round.
With the football season already underway, there's no better time to step into a business ready to trade from day one. Located just a short walk from Queensland Country Bank Stadium, home of the North Queensland Cowboys, the restaurant benefits from increased patronage on game days, while concerts, festivals and major sporting events continue to bring thousands of visitors to the precinct.
The business has recently undergone significant investment, with new commercial refrigeration and upgraded plant and equipment already in place. A new owner can take over without major capital works, allowing you to focus on growing the business immediately.
Adding to the appeal is a long secure lease, providing stability and peace of mind. The restaurant is supported by a strong, capable and experienced team, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations and making it an excellent opportunity for owner-operators or investors.
Lone Star Rib House & Brews is a recognised Australian brand, known for its authentic American-inspired dining experience featuring slow-cooked ribs, premium steaks, burgers, signature sides, cocktails and a welcoming family atmosphere. You'll benefit from proven operating systems, comprehensive training, national marketing, established supplier relationships, loyalty programs and ongoing franchise support.
With new Lone Star Rib House & Brews restaurants continuing to open across Australia, you'll be joining a growing franchise network with exciting expansion plans. Backed by an experienced franchisor, you'll receive ongoing operational support, marketing initiatives and business development while enjoying the independence of owning your own business.
To make the opportunity even more attractive, reduced franchise fees apply for the first three months, and partial vendor finance is available to approved purchasers, providing added flexibility and making it even easier for the right operator to take ownership of this established, turnkey franchise.
