Positioned in the heart of Castlemaine, Maine Shoes & Accessories presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly regarded, long-standing retail business with a proven track record of consistent performance and profitability.

Operating successfully for over 135 years and held by only a handful of owners throughout its history, this iconic business has become a trusted destination for both loyal locals and visitors alike. Its reputation has been built on personalised service, quality product offerings, and strong relationships with leading footwear brands, many of which are exclusive to the store.

The business delivers steady and predictable revenue, and strong annual sales. This makes it an ideal opportunity for those seeking a stable income with the added benefit of lifestyle flexibility.

Located in a high-exposure position with strong foot traffic and plenty of parking, the store is well set up with a functional retail layout, storage areas, and supporting amenities. A reliable and experienced team is already in place, allowing for a smooth transition to new ownership. You do not need any experience to learn the shoe craft with the support that is provided.

One of the most exciting aspects of this opportunity is the clear potential for growth. While the business continues to perform strongly in-store, there is substantial upside through the expansion of its online presence, digital marketing, and e-commerce capabilities.

With secure supplier relationships, a loyal customer base, and negotiable lease options available, this is a true walk-in, walk-out opportunity offering both immediate income and future scalability.

Located within easy reach of Bendigo and just over an hour from Melbourne, Castlemaine continues to grow in popularity as both a lifestyle destination and a regional hub. Its blend of heritage charm, creative community and modern conveniences makes it a magnet for visitors, all of which contributes to consistent foot traffic and ongoing demand for well-established local businesses.

For a new owner, this means not only stepping into a proven business, but becoming part of a dynamic and growing regional town with a bright future.
