About the Business
UNIQUE LIFESTYLE BUSINESS – GAME SHOP + EVENTS + ONLINE STORE
Looking for something a little different? This is a rare opportunity to take over a vibrant, community-driven retail business with multiple income streams and genuine growth potential.
Pluto & Nessie is a much-loved game shop that opened in August 2022 and has quickly built a loyal customer base and an outstanding reputation, backed by 5-star Google reviews. The business specialises in jigsaw puzzles, board games and card games for all ages, attracting both locals and tourists to the beautiful Yungaburra region.
In October 2025, the business moved into a larger 90m² premises, providing the perfect space to expand both retail and in-store experiences.
What really sets Pluto & Nessie apart is its strong focus on community and events. Monthly Board Game Nights are a standout feature, regularly attracting 30–40 attendees and selling out 90% of the time. Not only do these nights generate excellent revenue, they also drive strong product sales, with many customers purchasing games they’ve just played. There is clear demand to increase the frequency of these events, presenting an immediate opportunity to grow income.
Beyond this, Pluto & Nessie also generates additional revenue through private board game events, which are highly profitable, as well as a permanent presence at the popular Yungaburra Markets once per month.
Pluto & Nessie operates both in-store and online, with a fully developed Shopify website already in place and all products listed.
The business is easy to operate, with a simple POS system that integrates seamlessly with the online store, along with detailed manuals for daily operations, stock management and order fulfilment. The current owner works full-time with some casual assistance and is committed to providing a thorough handover to ensure a smooth transition.
The premises are affordable with flexible lease options available, including the possibility of no long-term lease if preferred.
This is a genuinely enjoyable business that would suit an owner-operator or couple looking for a lifestyle opportunity in a beautiful regional location, with the added benefit of multiple revenue streams and clear growth pathways.
The owner is reluctantly selling due to a family illness and would not be parting with the business otherwise.
Opportunities like this are rare ... a fun, niche business with a loyal following and plenty of upside.
