An outstanding opportunity to acquire a well-established general store and café located in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula’s tightly held wine region.
This business is a long-standing local favourite, servicing both a loyal residential community and a strong flow of weekend and holiday visitors. It offers a rare blend of lifestyle, income and future potential, with the added benefit of a two-bedroom residence attached to the premises.
The current owners have built a profitable, streamlined operation, and the business is now ready for a new owner to bring fresh energy, ideas and vision to the next phase of growth.
The Business
- Dual income stream: general store retail + café trade, selling high volume of locally roasted coffee
- Consistent annual revenue circa $546,000+
- Strong repeat local customer base plus seasonal tourism uplift
- Simple, efficient operation suited to owner-operators or a couple
The Premises
- Well-presented store and café fit-out
- Fully equipped commercial kitchen and coffee setup
- Deli counter, multiple commercial fridges and large walk-in cool room
- Two-bedroom dwelling attached
- Secure lease in place through to 2030 with a landlord open to extending the term and supportive of a liquor license
Key Highlights
- Highly desirable Mornington Peninsula wine region location
- Affordable rent relative to location and turnover
- Excellent local reputation and community support
- Scope to expand menu, trading hours or product range
- Strong weekend and holiday trade from visitors and tourists
- Opportunity to further activate the café offering and retail mix
Growth & Upside
The business is currently trading well but offers clear opportunities for further growth, including:
- Expanding food and beverage offerings
- Introducing evening or extended trading (STCA)
- Capitalising further on tourist traffic during peak seasons
- Refreshing branding, menu and in-store presentation
- Opening on Sundays for trade
This is an ideal acquisition for a buyer seeking a profitable hospitality business in a premium lifestyle location, with the ability to live on site and become part of a close-knit community.
