About this opportunity
Not every fish shop buys prawns by the ton, and not every fish shop gets fresh seafood straight off the boat, but Coral Sea Seafoods & Takeaway do. An incredibly motivated seller that is ready to retire is keen to sell to an owner operator that wants to make some big money. This business has a massive turnover and is extremely profitable, the seller has suppliers in place to continue the supply of fresh fish, prawns and other seafood products to the shop. With a full-time manager in place, this is a fantastic opportunity for anybody.

Phil started his working career in purchasing with large and multi-national companies in Sydney.
A family relocation to Bowen in 1974 was the catalyst to owning his own business.
Phil has been in various businesses from Pest Control to Delicatessen/Takeaway and has for the last 39 years built a wholesale business that has served Bowen, Whitsundays, Mackay and the Coalfields, from 1 truck and himself to 6 trucks and 15 employees.
This has given Phil a very solid knowledge of the area from Bowen to Rockhampton and what it takes to thrive in business there.
Phil has a strong knowledge of business and business practices built through the process of growing his own business as well as time spent on State Franchise Council and dealing with the many changing government policies in those 39 years.
The process of selling his own business has shown Phil the real need for a locally based business broker, easily contacted and heavily focused on the Central Queensland area, which has led to his involvement in CQ Business Brokers.
