Summary
Join Australia's largest homegrown café brand at Aura Town Centre, a vibrant new retail and dining hub supported by strong population growth, increasing spending power and a growing customer base.
About the Opportunity
A prime opportunity exists to bring The Coffee Club to Stockland Aura Town Centre, the retail and community hub of Australia's largest master-planned community.
Located at the main entry to Woolworths, this high-visibility corner site will benefit from strong foot traffic and exposure. Stage One will feature Woolworths, ALDI, two mini-majors, around 55 specialty stores, a dining precinct, health and wellness services, and 680 car parks.
Set within the rapidly growing Aura community, the centre is expected to serve a trade area of nearly 74,000 residents by 2028. Opening in late 2027, it will be supported by future developments including commercial, education, hospitality and community facilities.
Backed by Australia's largest homegrown café brand, this is a rare opportunity to secure a flagship café location in one of the Sunshine Coast's fastest-growing regions.

History
The Coffee Club was founded in 1989 in Brisbane by Emmanuel Kokoris and Emmanuel Drivas, with the vision to create more than a café – a social hub built on Good Food, Great Service, and Excellent Coffee. Joined by John Lazarou in 1990, the brand expanded rapidly, becoming a household name across Australia and beyond. Today, with over 300 stores across 13 countries, The Coffee Club remains true to its promise while continuing to innovate and grow.
