This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, highly popular fish & chips business operating in one of the most desirable coastal lifestyle precincts in Queensland.
Positioned close to world-class beaches, parklands, and vibrant community hubs, the business benefits from strong local loyalty, steady visitor trade, and a reputation as a “must-go” destination that has stood the test of time.

The business has been established for many years and is deeply embedded in the local community. The current owners took over in August 2019 and have continued to operate it successfully, maintaining its popularity, consistency, and profitability.

PRIME LIFESTYLE SETTING (WITHOUT THE PREMIUM HOURS)
The surrounding area is known for its beautiful coastal environment, relaxed lifestyle, and strong residential catchment. Customers include loyal locals, families, and visitors enjoying the nearby beaches and outdoor amenities. The business enjoys consistent demand without reliance on late-night trading or excessive operating hours.

FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT (APPROX.)
– Average Weekly Sales: ~$14,700 (including cash)
– High Weeks: Up to ~$23,000
– Low Weeks: Around ~$12,000
– Total Weekly Wages: ~$4,100 (including owners & casual staff)

After deducting cost of goods, wages, superannuation, and all operating expenses:
– Annual Net Profit (after owners’ wages): ~$81,500
– Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): ~$275,000
This provides a strong return for owner-operators and excellent justification for visa and family buyers.

OPERATION & STAFFING
– Operated by a husband-and-wife owner-operator team
– Husband and wife roles can be replaced with standard staff if required.
– Supported by 5 -6 casual young staff (school kids age)
– Simple, proven systems with smooth day-to-day operations

LEASE & TRADING HOURS
– Lease in place until 2030, plus a 2-year option
– Rent: ~$2,300 per week including outgoings, GST & signage
– Trades only 5 days per week
– Operates 48 weeks per year, allowing genuine lifestyle balance
This structure offers clear upside for buyers wishing to extend trading days or weeks.

WHY THIS BUSINESS STANDS OUT
– Long-established and iconic local reputation (Iconic means British Style Fish $ Chips, using fresh cut potato home made chips!)
– Prime coastal lifestyle setting
– Strong SDE and transparent earnings
– Reasonable rent with long lease security
– Limited trading days = lifestyle friendly
– Ideal for family operators, husband-wife teams & visa applicants

REASON FOR SALE
The owners are selling to pursue other personal and lifestyle plans after several successful years of ownership.
