# RARE CASH COW SUPERMARKET | $2M+ ANNUAL NET PROFIT | 40+ YEARS ESTABLISHED

Premium Business Opportunity – Melbourne's Inner Northern Suburbs

## An Exceptional Supermarket Investment with Multiple Income Streams and Significant Growth Potential

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, long-established supermarket in Melbourne's sought-after inner northern suburbs. With over 40 years of successful trading, this business has built an exceptional reputation, a loyal customer base and a proven operating model that delivers substantial returns.

Generating over $200,000 in weekly takings, more than $2 million in annual net profit, and an additional $215,000 per annum in subletting income, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, established cash-generating business.

The supermarket operates with a fully staffed and managed structure, allowing the owner to benefit from an established, largely hands-off operation. All key departments are managed by experienced personnel, with systems and processes already in place.

## Key Investment Highlights

# Approx $2M+ (Annual Net Profit) As advised by the vendor

# $200K+ Approx - Weekly Takings - Established trading performance

# $215K Annual Subletting Income - Additional income stream

# 40+ Years Established Business - Long-standing market presence

### Why This Business Stands Out

* Exceptional profitability: Strong cash flow supported by substantial weekly sales and high-margin fresh produce.

* Additional rental income: Approximately $215,000 annually from subletting, with bills and outgoings shared, helping reduce overall occupancy and operating costs.

* Fully managed operation: Experienced staff manage all key departments, with low staffing costs and minimal day-to-day owner involvement.

* Strong competitive position: An established local presence with limited direct competition in its immediate trading area.

* No additional capital expenditure anticipated: The business is presented as a turnkey operation, with existing infrastructure, equipment and operational systems in place.

* Lifestyle-friendly trading hours: Operating from just 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, offering a favourable trading schedule compared with many supermarkets.

* Immediate earnings potential: An established, profitable operation offering an incoming purchaser the opportunity to generate income from day one, subject to a successful transition.

## High-Margin Fresh Produce – The Heart of the Business

Unlike traditional supermarkets that rely heavily on lower-margin packaged groceries, this business derives a significant proportion of its income from fresh produce.

Its established sourcing arrangements, purchasing capabilities and high-volume trading model support attractive gross margins and strong profitability.

With more than four decades of trading history, the business has developed an established customer base and purchasing relationships that would take a new entrant considerable time and investment to replicate.

## Significant Wholesale and Distribution Opportunity

One of the most attractive features of this acquisition is the opportunity to expand beyond traditional supermarket retailing.

The business includes a 14-pallet truck, providing an incoming purchaser with an existing logistics asset suitable for large-scale sourcing and deliveries.

This creates the potential to develop a complementary fresh produce distribution or wholesale business, servicing restaurants, cafés, independent retailers, hospitality operators and other commercial customers.

An ambitious purchaser could leverage the supermarket's established sourcing relationships, purchasing volumes and logistics capabilities to build an additional revenue stream without starting a distribution operation entirely from scratch.

The opportunity is not simply to acquire a supermarket, but to acquire an established retail operation with the infrastructure and potential to develop a broader fresh produce distribution business.

## Vendor Support and Seamless Transition

The vendor is committed to supporting the incoming purchaser to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of operations.

Ongoing assistance can be made available for a nominal fee, providing access to the vendor's extensive industry knowledge, sourcing relationships and operational experience.

This presents an attractive opportunity for an experienced supermarket operator, investor or entrepreneur seeking to acquire a substantial, profitable business with an established management structure.

Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Location:

Strategically located within a large, established shopping centre in Melbourne’s Inner West, the supermarket benefits from exceptional visibility, convenient access and foot traffic exceeding 8,000 visitors daily. Surrounded by established residential communities and complementary retailers, the location attracts a loyal customer base and consistent repeat trade.

Premises Details:

1200 SQM + 40+ year established supermarket in Melbourne’s Inner West, with 8,000+ daily footfall and loyal clientele. $2M+ net profit, $200K+ weekly sales, $215K rental income. Fully managed cash cow!

Business Operation

Management type:
This business is owner operated.
Expansion Potential:

Exceptional growth potential through the introduction of liquor and tobacco sales (STCA), fresh produce wholesale distribution, online ordering and home delivery services. Leverage the supermarket's established clientele, 8,000+ daily shopping centre footfall, strong supplier relationships and existing 14-pallet truck to expand into commercial supply and distribution. Further opportunities include launching high-margin private-label products, developing exclusive product ranges and creating additional revenue streams.

Competition / Market:

The supermarket enjoys a strong competitive position within its established shopping centre, benefiting from high foot traffic, a loyal customer base and limited direct competition. Its 40+ year trading history, competitive pricing, high-margin fresh produce and established supplier relationships create significant advantages over new market entrants.

Reasons for selling:

The current operator, who has successfully managed the supermarket since 2017, is ready to take the next step in expanding his business portfolio by establishing a larger supermarket. With the new venture requiring significant time and attention, the vendor is seeking to divest the existing operation and focus on the next phase of his business growth. This presents an opportunity for an incoming purchaser to acquire a highly profitable, established and fully managed business.
