Clyde Street, Ohakune, Ruapehu

World famous chocolate eclair bakery

Johnny Nation's Chocolate Eclair Shop is an iconic Ohakune business renowned for supplying eclairs to hungry skiers, tourists and locals.

Owned and operated by the Nation family for generations, the business is highly profitable and currently only operates for six months per year during the winter and enjoys a turnover which exceeds what many businesses would earn over 12 months. An indication of its success is the chocolate eclair production which averages circa 1,000 per day.

This is an exciting opportunity for the new owner to enjoy the fruits of the Nation family's labour and there is scope for even further business success through extending opening through the summer season as well as winter. Complementing eclair sales is a range of other baked goods plus a dairy. The regular queues outside the door are a testament to its popularity and reputation.

This is a leasehold business opportunity with a long-term lease to be negotiated with the vendors. Rent will be $35,000 per year plus GST plus OPEX. There is also opportunity to rent a large residential dwelling nearby if you are moving to Ohakune to take over the business. Chattels are included and the vendors will provide assistance to help the new owners get started.

Ideally this suits purchasers from a cooking/baking background as the scale of production is such that the experience is beneficial. Please also enquire if you feel you have the right attitude but limited on experience.

There is also opportunity to acquire the freehold land and buildings. Please enquire.
