High-Profile Licensed Café - Undervalued Opportunity in Prime Location with Parking
In a standout central location with strong street presence and high foot traffic, this long-established licensed café has served the local area for over 30 years -14 under the current owner. Known for its welcoming vibe and loyal following, it presents an exciting opportunity for a motivated operator to take it to the next level.
Why This Café Stands Out:
• Prime, High-Exposure Spot: Positioned in the heart of town with excellent visibility and access—ideal for visitors, regulars, and destination diners.
• Undervalued with Big Upside: Currently trading below its potential and priced well under replacement cost—a great value entry point.
• Great Kitchen Design: The commercial kitchen is well laid out and fully functional—ideal for efficient service and easy operation from day one.
• Inviting Frontage: The café's front opens seamlessly to outdoor dining, creating a natural indoor-outdoor dining experience that's perfect for casual catch-ups or sunny weekend brunches.
• Ample On-Site Parking: Rare for a central venue, with 20 dedicated spaces—ideal for families, groups, and convenient takeaway access.
• Established & Trusted: A local favourite for decades, with deep community roots and a name that carries goodwill.
Room to Grow:
• Reintroduce dinner service and extend trading hours to capture untapped demand.
• Refresh the menu and décor to match your unique concept.
• Host events or themed nights to create a fresh buzz and broaden appeal.
Whether you're envisioning a vibrant brunch hangout, a modern bar café, or a fresh new concept entirely, this large flexible space has everything you need to hit the ground running.
Opportunities like this don't come often—enquire today and make it your own.
