Home and Style Store
About this opportunity
The Home and Style Store and Ayr Coffee Co. offers a uniquely integrated experience: a stylish lifestyle boutique seamlessly paired with a premium espresso bar, creating two complementary revenue streams. What sets it apart is the ingenious marriage of these harmonious ventures. The main space showcases a meticulously curated collection of women's fashion and home décor, while the adjacent area—connected through a thoughtfully designed access point—features a chic espresso bar serving exceptional St. Ali coffee, a prestigious Melbourne brand renowned for its superior quality and devoted following.
Located in Ayr, this distinctive business presents an ideal opportunity for a mother-daughter team looking to combine their talents and interests. This business model naturally lends itself to such a partnership, with responsibilities potentially divided between, retail buying, merchandising, and trend forecasting, café operations and food program development, marketing and social media management and business administration and financial oversight.
Business Story
The synergy between these two elements creates a destination shopping experience that encourages customers to linger longer, shop more, and return frequently. The espresso bar doesn't merely supplement the retail experience—it transforms it, providing both an additional revenue stream and a powerful customer engagement tool. This strategic pairing cultivates an immersive environment where shopping transitions naturally into social connection, enhancing customer loyalty and increasing average transaction value.
The Home and Style Store caters to a diverse demographic of style-conscious women seeking both fashion and homewares with distinctive personality. The merchandise mix includes contemporary women's fashion that artfully balances trendy pieces with timeless wardrobe staples, complemented by coveted brand-name accessories that add significant cachet to the store's offerings. The selection features modern, distinctive homewares unavailable in chain stores, alongside carefully selected gift items that naturally encourage impulse purchases.
Although this is an established business, significant growth potential remains untapped: Expanding the espresso bar's food offerings with grab-and-go options to capture additional revenue, opening the espresso bar earlier to serve a wider customer base, implement the online shop as all the hard work has been done with the setup of stock integration in preparation for unlimited online sales growth.
The current owner is committed to ensuring a successful transition, including comprehensive training on all aspects of the business, introduction to key vendors and suppliers, sharing of customer insights and purchasing patterns, ongoing consultation for an agreed period after sale and transfer of all operational documentation and systems. This commitment ensures new owners can confidently step into the business with the knowledge needed for continued success.
Words and images can only convey so much – experiencing the Home and Style store and Ayr Coffee Co. firsthand, it’s the best way to understand its unique appeal and potential. If this turnkey business in the lifestyle industry is for you, reach out to us today to schedule a private tour of the premises, including a comprehensive business overview and sampling of both the retail and café experiences. We are here to support you in exploring this exciting business venture.
