Acquire a fully managed group of 15 company-owned cafés selling approximately one tonne of coffee every week. With reported annual turnover exceeding $5 million and net profit of $500,000–$2.5 million, this substantial coffee and quick-service food business offers an attractive acquisition opportunity with experienced management, long-term leases and significant expansion potential.
The group comprises 15 wholly company-owned cafés operating across metropolitan Melbourne, specialising in premium specialty coffee and freshly prepared grab-and-go food. Selling approximately 1,000kg of coffee weekly, the business benefits from established supply chains, roasting partnerships, food production infrastructure and streamlined operating systems. With no franchisees or royalty arrangements, an incoming purchaser gains direct control of the entire network, supported by a full management and operational team.
Advertised in Adelaide, South Australia, this acquisition offers an existing Melbourne metropolitan café portfolio with potential for interstate expansion. The stores operate across Melbourne's commercial and urban trading corridors, serving commuters, office workers and local residents. Long-term leases with favourable rental terms are in place across all 15 locations, supporting the group's existing operations.
Growth opportunities include opening additional cafés across metropolitan Melbourne, expanding into regional Victoria and interstate markets, and developing wholesale and packaged retail coffee products. Further potential exists through corporate catering, business-to-business supply agreements, extended afternoon and evening trading, and a future franchise or licensing model. The existing supply infrastructure and management systems provide a foundation for pursuing these opportunities.
Operating under absentee ownership, the business benefits from an experienced management and operational team, reducing the need for daily owner involvement. Its wholly owned structure, substantial coffee volumes and streamlined operating model may appeal to hospitality groups, corporate acquirers, experienced multi-site operators and investors seeking a management-run café business.
Offered exclusively through Boston Brokers via a confidential Expressions of Interest campaign, this opportunity provides a substantial platform for buyers seeking scale in Australia's café and quick-service food sector.
