If you’ve been looking for that sea change with lifestyle, coupled with a café & bistro, then the search is over! This cafe & bistro is superbly situated in Tin Can Bay—a fishing and boating paradise located on the Cooloola Coast—opposite a park with views of the Bay and boats. Fishing is the primary industry with the area boasting a fleet of around 50 prawn and scallop trawlers. This destination spot is one of only three places in Australia where visitors can officially hand feed dolphins—the local population constantly swells with visitors who come to fish, visit the popular marina, play the 18-hole golf course, attend one of the region’s many annual events, and visit Fraser Island.
Trading for ten years and known locally for its special burgers—which are huge!—this delightful café currently caters for breakfast, lunch, morning and afternoon teas with the usual sandwiches, burgers, omelettes, pancakes, chips, coffee and cakes. The business enjoys outstanding repeat business due to word-of-mouth referral based on the café’s great food, atmosphere and service.
This region of the Wide Bay is a favourite playground for Brisbane residents taking weekend fishing/camping getaways. ‘Grey nomads’ who love to caravan to the Bay, along with holiday makers both local and international, are drawn here. Tin Can Bay is situated just off the southern tip of Fraser Island, and a short drive from Rainbow Beach coloured sands.
This café begs to be taken to the next level—a new menu along the lines of coffee-club fare or an extension of trading hours to include Friday/Saturday nights would be ideal. With its beautiful alfresco dining area, the café would be ideal for BYO—a glass of wine and an easy dining menu would see an even better return on net profits!
There is an extensive list of well-maintained plant and equipment, and a new kitchen rounds out the attractions of this café & bistro as well.
Opportunities for growth abound, with the proposed development of a $30 million marina and the possible relocation of the Enoggera military base to Tin Can Bay. The region is further supported by coal drilling. This area, which will always be a destination location for families, tourists and travellers, can only continue to grow!
This business represents a great opportunity for a couple or partnership to acquire a well-established business with a minimum of fuss. Situated in a fantastic location with reasonable rent, and a lease providing options for extended trading hours, there is still growth to be realised for new owners! The business is being presented as two working owners with casual staff, and should appeal to those with a background in food/retail seeking their own business. The current owners will provide training if required.
