Established Tobacconist – 30 Years of Trading | Profitable, Secure & Visa 188A Suitable
A Rare Opportunity in the Retail Tobacco Sector

For over three decades, this tobacconist has stood as a trusted and established retail destination. Now available for the first time in years, this is a rare chance to acquire a proven, highly profitable business that combines strong weekly sales with a simple and streamlined operating model.

The current owner has operated the business since mid-2022, maintaining consistent performance and benefiting from a loyal customer base built over many years. Unlike many retail businesses, this operation is straightforward, easy to manage, and well-suited to an owner-operator seeking a secure and stable business with excellent returns.

Strong Financial Performance
The business generates robust turnover with reported sales in recent financial years of:
2022/2023: $3.65M
2023/2024: $3.10M
2024/2025: $3.76M

The store operates 51 weeks per year (allowing for Christmas/New Year closures), averaging $74,000 in weekly sales.

Expenses are tightly controlled:
Rent: $1,950 per week (inclusive of GST, electricity, outgoings & promotional levies – extraordinarily low relative to sales).
Wages (owner + casual staff): Approx. $870 per week.
Cost of Goods (tobacco & gifts blended): Approx. 92% of sales
Miscellaneous: $500 per week.
This delivers a weekly net profit of approx. $2,700 equating to an annual net return of around $140,000. Buyers are encouraged to conduct an onsite income trial to verify weekly takings.

Lease & Security
A secure lease runs until mid-2027, offering peace of mind for incoming owners. Importantly, the tenancy arrangement is highly attractive – at just $1,950 per week all-inclusive, it represents one of the most cost-effective leases relative to turnover in the retail sector.

Key Investment Highlights
Established 30+ years – longstanding trading history with repeat customers.
High turnover – $3.7M FY2025 – reliable, proven revenue stream.
Strong profitability – annual net return of approx. $283,560.
Exceptionally low rent – $1,950/week including GST, electricity, outgoings & levies.
Simple to operate – owner-operator model with occasional casual support.
Onsite trial available – verify weekly takings directly.
Visa 188A suitability – attractive for investor migrants.
Straightforward retail model – minimal complexity, high repeat purchase rate.

This business is ideally suited to:
Owner-operators seeking stability, profitability, and security.
Investor-migrants (Visa 188A applicants) wanting a compliant, well-established business.
Lifestyle buyers looking for a simple, profitable model with manageable staffing.
Retail investors seeking a proven, cash-generating business with attractive rent.
