Location Details
Shepparton
Prime Shepparton CBD position in the heart of the Goulburn Valley, 2 hrs north of Melbourne. Anchored by Maude St Mall, SAM & Goulburn Valley Health, with strong foot traffic, a 160,000+ regional catchment, highway access & ample public parking.
Potential
Significant upside for an incoming operator to scale revenue through untapped channels: weekend functions & weddings, corporate catering, breakfast trade, extended late-night dining and full activation of third-party delivery platforms (UberEats, DoorDash, Menulog). Further growth available via seasonal tourism packaging, liquor licence extension, live entertainment nights and targeted digital marketing to the 160,000+ regional catchment. Turnkey platform ready for an energetic owner-operator to lift earnings from day one.

Full handover, supplier introductions, systems training and ongoing support provided by the current owner to ensure a smooth, seamless transition.
