Summary
A hands-on owner operator or husband-and-wife team has the opportunity to step into management shifts and significantly reduce wage costs, potentially increasing profits from day one.
About the Opportunity
San Churro Merrylands presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a rapidly growing dessert café operating under one of Australia's most recognised and trusted franchise brands.
Located within the thriving NATION residential and dining precinct in Merrylands, the business has experienced significant growth as the precinct has matured and reached full occupancy.
The business is fully operational with an experienced team of 18 staff, including 4 shift managers, allowing it to operate largely under management. A hands-on owner operator or husband-and-wife team has the opportunity to further increase profitability by reducing management wage costs and becoming more involved in daily operations.
The sale includes a modern fit-out, all equipment, established systems, customer goodwill, supplier relationships and a prepaid franchise term. The business benefits from strong brand recognition, excellent online reviews, a growing residential catchment and ongoing franchisor support.
This is an ideal opportunity for owner operators, investors, hospitality professionals or families seeking an established business with immediate income and future growth potential.
Marketing support
San Churro is one of Australia's leading dessert franchise brands, providing national marketing campaigns, established supplier relationships, proven operating systems, loyalty programs, social media support and ongoing franchise assistance. The landlord also actively supports tenant promotions and community events, helping drive additional customer traffic to the store throughout the year.
Training provided
Comprehensive training and handover will be provided. The franchisor offers structured onboarding, 5-6 weeks operational training, systems training and ongoing support. The current owner is also willing to provide a handover period to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of operations for the new owner.
Skills
No previous dessert or hospitality experience is required, although customer service and people management skills would be beneficial. The business is currently operating under management with established systems, making it suitable for owner operators, investors, families, hospitality professionals or first-time business buyers.
Length of Agreement
The business benefits from a pre-paid San Churro franchise term with approximately 7 years remaining. The lease has over 5 years remaining, providing secure tenure and long-term trading stability for the incoming purchaser. Franchise approval and training requirements apply.
