Own a Piece of Mackay's Outdoor Lifestyle - Est. 1980
Motivated Vendor - Selling Due to Ill Health
A rare chance to step into a business, a community, and a lifestyle thats been 40+ years in the making.
Picture this: you're behind the counter of a store the whole region already knows and trusts. Regulars come in not just to buy gear, but to talk about their next trip up the coast, their next caravan upgrade, their next weekend at the campsite. You're not building a customer base - you inherit one. You're not guessing what sells - 40 years of trading history has already answered that question.
This is Mackays most recognised camping, caravanning and 4WD retailer, and its available for the first time in over four decades.
What Owning This Business Actually Looks Like:
You open the doors to a fully stocked store - camping, caravanning and 4WD gear already on the shelves, so there's no waiting, no scrambling to build inventory, no dead weeks before you're properly trading. You're selling brands people already ask for by name: YETI, Coleman, OzTrail,
BlackWolf - and subject to supplier approval, you step straight into the role of Mackay's YETI dealer, a position other operators would take years to earn.
You'e running a business in an industry that's genuinely booming.
The Grey Nomad movement keeps growing, more Australians are investing in travel and outdoor living every year, and this store already sits right in the middle of that wave - established relationships, established reputation, established foot traffic. You're not trying to convince anyone the outdoor lifestyle is worth investing in. They already believe it. They already shop here.
Room to Make It Yours
The current owners have had to step back due to retirement and health reasons, which means the business hasn't had a full-time, energetic owner on the floor in some time - and that's exactly where the opportunity sits.
The brand, the loyalty and the supplier relationships are all still fully intact; what's been missing is someone to bring them back to life.
For a new owner, that opens real room to grow: building out online sales, expanding social media presence, tapping further into the adventure travel and touring market. None of that requires starting from scratch - it's building on a foundation that's already there, in a location that's already proven.
