The considerable goodwill these businesses have accumulated cannot be overstated.

Business Story
While Fat Dogz Cafe established the foundation, Hammett Street Grocer has rapidly developed its own devoted following. What started as a complementary business has evolved into a destination in its own right, particularly renowned for fresh fruit and vegetables, international and specialty products, exceptional deli offerings, ready-made meals, and catering services that draw customers specifically seeking these premium items. Its carefully curated selection reflects contemporary tastes while maintaining approachable pricing that encourages frequent purchases. The grocer particularly attracts younger demographics who value quality products and elevated shopping experiences.
Both establishments feature high-quality fit-outs with significant investments in plant and equipment, leaving them in exceptional operational condition. Fat Dogz Cafe offers a welcoming environment that encourages customers to linger, while Hammett Street Grocer's modern fit-out showcases products beautifully while facilitating efficient customer flow.
The brilliance of this opportunity lies in how Fat Dogz Cafe and Hammett Street Grocer complement each other, creating multiple revenue streams while sharing operational efficiencies. The cafe drives initial foot traffic, while the grocer captures additional spending from the same customers. Many patrons who come for coffee and a meal leave with fresh produce or deli items for home, maximizing the value of each customer visit.
For the right buyer seeking established businesses with both immediate returns and growth potential, these complementary establishments represent an exceptional investment opportunity.
