ESTABLISHED ACAI BAR IN PORT DOUGLAS – FULLY FITTED & INDEPENDENTLY MANAGED
An opportunity to acquire Manna Acai, an established, fully fitted acai and health-food business in Port Douglas, one of Far North Queensland’s best-known tourism destinations.
Manna Acai has developed an established brand, distinctive fit-out, menu, operating systems, supplier relationships and customer presence.
Importantly, the business has been managed day to day independently of the owners, with established staff and operating procedures already in place.
The owners have relocated interstate and can no longer provide the business with the level of hands-on involvement they would like. As a result, this is a genuine and motivated sale and an opportunity for a new owner to step into an established operation rather than starting a hospitality business from scratch.

• Genuine reason for sale – owners relocated interstate

THE BUSINESS
Manna Acai is a contemporary health-food business specialising in acai bowls, smoothies and other fresh products.
The business has been developed with a distinctive brand identity and an attractive fit-out designed to complement the Port Douglas lifestyle and tourism market.
A significant amount of the difficult and expensive work involved in establishing a hospitality business has already been completed.
The branding, fit-out, equipment, menu development, recipes, supplier relationships, operating systems and customer awareness are all established.
Rather than purchasing an empty tenancy and undertaking the time, cost and risk involved in creating a new hospitality concept, an incoming purchaser can step into an existing business with the operational platform already in place.
ESTABLISHED OPERATION WITH INDEPENDENT MANAGEMENT
One of the key strengths of Manna Acai is that the business has operated day to day independently of the owners.
Staff have managed the regular operation of the business while the owners have increasingly been based interstate, demonstrating that Manna Acai is not dependent on the current owners being physically present in the shop every day.
This provides an incoming purchaser with flexibility.
A purchaser seeking an established operation already has staff, systems and procedures to work with, while a more hands-on owner-operator has the opportunity to become directly involved in the business, engage with customers, manage costs closely and actively drive local marketing and development.
We believe greater local owner involvement represents one of the clearest opportunities available to the next owner.
GENUINE REASON FOR SALE
The reason for sale is straightforward.
The owners have relocated interstate.
Manna Acai has continued to operate independently of us on a day-to-day basis, but we believe the business deserves an owner who can either be locally involved or provide the level of regular oversight that is difficult for us to deliver from another state.
Our circumstances have changed geographically and we are therefore genuinely motivated to achieve a sale.
Reasonable offers from serious purchasers will be considered.

OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEXT OWNER
Manna Acai has already demonstrated that it can operate under staff management without requiring its owners to be physically present every day.
For the right incoming purchaser, there is an opportunity to build on that established foundation.
A locally based owner could choose to become more involved in the day-to-day business, develop local partnerships, actively drive marketing and closely manage operating costs.
Potential areas an incoming purchaser may wish to explore include:
• Greater owner involvement in daily operations
• Local marketing
• Partnerships with hotels, resorts and accommodation providers
• Tourism-industry partnerships
• Catering and events
• Delivery and takeaway
• Menu development
• Seasonal promotions
• Social-media marketing
• Collaborations with local businesses
• Reviewing staffing and operating efficiencies
• Reviewing trading hours to capture additional opportunities
These are potential opportunities for a purchaser to investigate and should not be regarded as representations or guarantees of future financial performance.
WHO WOULD MANNA ACAI SUIT?
Manna Acai could suit:
• An owner-operator wanting their own established hospitality business
• A couple seeking a business and lifestyle opportunity in Port Douglas
• Someone looking to relocate to Far North Queensland
• An experienced hospitality operator
• An existing cafe, juice-bar or health-food operator looking for another location
• A purchaser wanting an existing operation rather than undertaking a new hospitality fit-out
• Someone attracted to the health-food and wellness market
Previous acai experience is not required.
A comprehensive handover can be provided covering products, recipes, equipment, suppliers, systems and operating procedures.
