Income comes from several streams under one roof: lotto, instant scratch-its, newspapers and magazines, cards, gifts and stationery.

Revenue has grown every year and is up more than 45% over the last three years. Two loyal, trained part-time staff run the day-to-day, so the current owners spend only a few hours a week in the business. Documented procedures, the franchisor’s own operating systems, recently upgraded POS equipment and an existing social media presence make the handover simple.

The owners are selling only to focus on their other businesses. They will give hands-on transition support before and after settlement, together with the franchisor’s structured training program for new retailers. This business suits first-time buyers, couples, existing retail operators who want a second site, or lifestyle buyers who want a semi-passive business on the coast.

WHO THIS BUSINESS IS SUITED TO

- First-time buyers ready to be their own boss
- Couples who want to run a business together
- Newsagency or retail operators who want a second site
- Sales-driven growth operators

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH

- Grow the gift range: The owners point to a bigger focus on gifts as a clear growth lever
- Build the lotto syndicates: The owners see ramping up syndicate sales as a ready-made way to lift lotto revenue
- Lift marketing and advertising: The business advertises only on social media today, leaving plenty of room for a new owner to drive more promotion
- Start a customer database: There is no customer database today, so a new owner can build one and market directly to a loyal customer base

Regional growth: Yeppoon is on a positive population and tourism growth trend, giving the business a growing market to tap into.
