Comments
Current base rent is approx. $4,600 per week. Under the existing lease arrangements, the tenant receives two months' rent-free each year, resulting in an effective average rental cost of approx. $3,900 per week, subject to the terms and conditions of the lease. This is much more than a traditional cafe. The purchaser is acquiring an established children's entertainment, indoor play centre, birthday party, childcare, cafe and catering business, together with an extensive purpose-built fit-out, all owned equipment and an established local customer base. More than $800,000 has been invested in establishing the venue, while the current asking price is $500,000 plus estimated stock of $40,000.
The combination of approx. 150–200 membership card holders, loyal repeat customers, regular Council catering orders, multiple revenue streams, substantial nearby parking, surrounding childcare facilities and continued residential development provides a strong platform for an incoming operator. Inspection is highly recommended to appreciate the quality and scale of the fit-out, the location and the surrounding residential development.
