Very successful, one of a kind food enterprise situated in the heart of the Sunshine Coast!
To say ‘Food and Party World’ has a large range of products on offer is an understatement!! This fun, easy to operate business retails just about everything related to hosting a great party, special event or large gathering. Products are therefore strongly demanded by individuals, families, businesses, schools, clubs and institutions throughout the Coast. The business has over 3,500 lines of stock, and provides the current owner with a fantastic GP due to firmly established relationships with suppliers. The large range of products includes finger foods, nibbles, nuts, snackfoods, pastries, pies sausage rolls, meatballs, chips, milk & dairy products, general convenience lines, beverages, desserts (including a large range of Sara Lee products), spices, along with Asian foods, dims sims, dumplings, prawn toast, battered pork and chicken, fish cakes, and a seafood selection with prawn cutlets, salt and pepper squid, fish cocktails, and seafood bites. Food and Party World’s array of confectionary lines and bulk packs of cheesecake, danish, brownies, carrot, mud and banana cakes are also very popular with numerous segments. Gluten free products, and Ingham chickens products are hotly demanded through this store.

This is truly a thoroughbred ‘One Stop Party Shop’. A modern stock control and management information system is in place, which allows remote access for the current owner and close monitoring of every aspect of the operation. The current owner has also spared no expense in installing the latest computerised cash register systems, and developing a fully functional on-line store which is also a feature, and signals further growth for the business. Situated on a busy main road with loads of great exposure due to the 30,000 to 33,000 vehicles passing each day, this business’s brightly signwritten facade captures customers that live, work & travel through the area on a regular basis with ease!! This well-known ‘speciality store’ is an absolute stand out, as closer investigation of the interior reveals! And being situated on a very popular corridor with a large volume of passing trade all year round, it has to be said, this business’s outstanding strategic location is ‘key’ to its ongoing success.
The store is located amongst other drawcard business, yet it’s a drawcard in itself, with its convenience, quality, uniqueness, variety of products on offer, and range of International foods, beverages and spices, from the US, UK, NZ and South Africa. This is of particular appeal to families who have recently settled in the area. Retailing these unique grocery lines makes this business very diverse and the ‘essential stop’ for practically anyone that lives on the Sunshine Coast and wishes to acquire some authentic foods or party foods and associated items of any kind.
Presenting extremely well, the large store operates a busy seven days a week, has a practical layout, a long list of plant & equipment, a massive walk-in Freezer, extensive shop fit-out, refrigerated display chests and cabinets and much more. Currently the owners share the time worked in the business to a maximum of around forty hours per week between them, and have one casual staff member help out during the busy times, and Sundays, when neither of the owners work. This business has great potential for growth through its on-line store, and/or new owners could even consider opening a small coffee shop within the store.
This business is primed for new owners to reap the benefits of its niche positioning, and truly represents a great entry point for those with a flair for retailing, and best of all, it boasts real growth potential for the right owners. Being presented as one working owner, and one casual staff member, this business is easy to run and learn, and suitable for individuals, husband and wife teams or partnerships, and those who have some previous retail food or hospitality experience. The current owner will provide 2 weeks training, which includes client and supplier introductions to help ensure a smooth transition.
One of a kind, this business is a unique opportunity, inspect without delay!!! Owners are selling for genuine health reasons.
