Kiosk on the Strand
About this opportunity
Perched on one of the most enviable headland positions in North Queensland, Kiosk on the Strand is more than a business — it’s a lifestyle asset, a community landmark, and a rare chance to secure a high?performing operation in one of Townsville’s most iconic beachfront precincts. With uninterrupted ocean views, constant foot traffic, and a reputation for serving some of the region’s favourite fast?casual classics, this is a business that captures the very essence of coastal dining.
Surrounding the kiosk is lush, beautifully maintained landscape of tropical gardens, open grassy areas, and wide pathways that invite families, walkers, joggers, and beachgoers to stop, relax, and enjoy a meal. Large timber tables with bench seating create a relaxed, communal atmosphere where groups gather to share food, conversation, and the unbeatable view.
Whether you’re an experienced operator looking to expand your portfolio, a family seeking a lifestyle business with low?complexity, this kiosk represents a standout investment.
Business Story
Kiosk on the Strand specialises in the kind of food that perfectly complements its beachfront setting: fresh fish, golden chips, juicy burgers, and ice?cold drinks. It’s fast, it’s delicious, and it’s exactly what people crave after a swim, a walk, a day in the sun, or just family food time in the shady gardens with magnificent views.
The menu is simple, efficient, and profitable — a proven formula that keeps queues moving and margins strong. With the right operator, there is also enormous potential to expand offerings, introduce seasonal specials, or add modern twists that appeal to evolving tastes. But even as it stands, the kiosk’s menu is a crowd?pleaser that consistently drives high?volume sales.
One of the greatest strengths of this business is the constant flow of people passing by its front counter. The Strand is Townsville’s premier waterfront promenade, attracting thousands of locals and visitors every week. On weekends, public holidays, and warm evenings, the area comes alive with families, fitness groups, tourists, and beach lovers — all of whom walk directly past the kiosk.
Right next door is a dedicated kids’ play area, making the kiosk the natural choice for parents looking to feed hungry children after a play session. Just metres away is a patrolled swimming enclosure, complete with lifeguards, drawing swimmers and sunbathers throughout the day. These two attractions alone create a steady stream of customers who see the kiosk as the most convenient and appealing food option in the precinct.
When you combine this with the natural beauty of the location and the relaxed outdoor seating, it’s easy to understand why the kiosk is consistently busy during mealtimes and absolutely pumps on weekends.
For an owner?operator, Kiosk on the Strand offers the kind of work?life balance most people dream about. Imagine starting your day with the sunrise over the ocean, working in the fresh sea breeze, and serving customers who are happy, relaxed, and enjoying their day out. This is a business where the environment lifts the mood, the customers are in holiday mode, and the setting does half the selling for you.
While the business already performs strongly, there is significant upside for a motivated operator. Potential growth avenues include Expanding the menu with modern fast?casual options, introducing breakfast offerings to capture early?morning walkers, leveraging social media to showcase the unbeatable views and food, adding grab?and?go items for fitness groups and beachgoers, hosting small events or partnering with local tourism operators. The location provides the platform — the next owner simply needs to decide how far they want to take it.

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.
