Potential
Howlong is located close to Albury in a rapidly growing regional area. Agriculture, supporting industries and tourism are key drivers of the local economy, with the Riverina wine region also nearby.
As the town continues to grow, so does demand for local services and retail offerings. There are further opportunities to expand Australia Post services, banking services and retail product lines to capture more local spending.
Skills
Training will be required for Lotto and Australia Post operations, however the current owners will assist with the transition and training process.

About the Business
Mail n Mart provides a full range of Australia Post services (excluding passports) and operates as a Tier 2 Australia Post outlet. The business also includes a Lotto terminal and a well-established retail offering including toys, cards, stationery, telephones, magazines, newspapers and seasonal specials.
Magazine and newspaper sales continue to drive consistent customer traffic, while banking services have become an increasingly important and high-demand addition.
The business benefits from having three complementary income streams — Post Office, Newsagency and Lotto — helping maintain steady customer flow throughout the day. During major Lotto jackpots, additional staffing may be beneficial, although the business is generally manageable by one operator.
History
The current owners originally purchased the standalone Post Office in 2015 before acquiring the local Newsagency and Lotto business in 2019. The premises were substantially expanded to accommodate the combined operations, and the business was rebranded as Mail n Mart.
The combination of services has created a strong and diversified regional business with continued growth potential.
