Business Story
Generating $2.99 million in FY2026 revenue, this established North Queensland business represents considerably more than a conventional cafe opportunity.
At its core is an established wholesale coffee distribution operation, complemented by ancillary cafe and hospitality products, commercial equipment sales, repairs and maintenance, equipment rental and barista training. An established espresso bar provides an additional customer-facing retail channel and complements the broader coffee, equipment and training activities.
Together, these activities create a diversified operating model with multiple revenue streams and several points of engagement with the business's customer base.
Wholesale coffee represents the largest income stream and provides the foundation of the business's commercial activities. The ability to also provide ancillary products, equipment and associated services enables the business to support hospitality customers across a broader range of their requirements and creates opportunities to extend those customer relationships beyond coffee supply alone.
The commercial equipment component further broadens the offering through equipment sales and associated technical activities, including repairs and maintenance and equipment rental. Barista training provides an additional complementary service and further connects the business with hospitality operators and their teams.
The established espresso bar provides the customer-facing element of the operation. In addition to generating retail revenue, it provides an environment for customers to experience the product offering and complements the training and broader commercial activities of the business.
For an incoming owner, one of the key attractions is the scale of the existing operation. FY2026 revenue of $2,992,080 provides a substantial established base from which a purchaser can assess opportunities to further develop sales, customer relationships, service penetration and operating performance.
There is scope to explore increasing the proportion of existing customers purchasing ancillary products and equipment services, further developing repairs, maintenance and training activities, strengthening customer acquisition and retention, and continuing to refine pricing, purchasing, inventory and operational efficiencies.
The opportunity may suit a commercially experienced owner-operator looking for a substantial established business rather than a start-up proposition. It may also appeal to an established hospitality or foodservice business, commercial equipment operator or cafe group that can see value in the existing customer relationships, revenue base, service capability and North Queensland presence.
The business operates within established supplier and distribution arrangements that support its current coffee offering. Further details regarding these commercial arrangements will be provided to qualified buyers as part of the confidential sale process.
A substantial range of commercial plant and equipment supports the cafe and training functions of the business. The available schedule includes commercial espresso equipment, grinders, automatic tamping and milk equipment, refrigeration, display equipment, dishwashing facilities, brewing equipment and dining assets. Final inclusions will be confirmed as part of the sale process.
At $520,000 + SAV, this is an opportunity to acquire an established North Queensland coffee distribution and hospitality supply business with significant existing revenue, multiple complementary income streams and an operating platform from which an incoming owner can pursue further commercial development.
The sale is being conducted confidentially. Further information regarding the business, its financial performance, operations, premises, equipment and commercial arrangements will be made available to qualified parties following completion of the appropriate confidentiality process.

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.
