Fat Dogz Cafe and Grocer on Hammett
About this opportunity
Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire not just one, but two thriving, interconnected businesses with an established reputation for excellence. Fat Dogz Cafe and its complementary Hammett Street Grocer represent more than simply commercial enterprises—they embody the heart and soul of a vibrant neighbourhood, serving as daily gathering spots for a loyal, trendy clientele who have made these establishments their own.
The neighbourhood darling that defined the district, Fat Dogz Café has transcended the typical dining establishment to become a genuine cultural cornerstone in the area. What began as a simple cafe has evolved into the neighbourhood’s living room—a place where the community connects, converses, and creates memories. The cafe pulses with energy from morning, filled with regulars who consider their daily visit an essential part of their routine.
The considerable goodwill these businesses have accumulated cannot be overstated. Since their establishment, their commitment to delivering exceptional products and service has cemented their status as neighbourhood institutions. This stellar reputation extends well beyond the immediate community, drawing visitors from surrounding areas through word-of-mouth referrals about their distinctive offerings and experiences—a dynamic that continues to drive robust customer acquisition.
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. Don't miss this rare chance to acquire successful operations with proven foundations and a clear pathway for future expansion.
To support a smooth transition, the current owner is offering a generous training period, ensuring you become fully familiar with the business operations.

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.
