The Pie Stop
About this opportunity
In an industry where many food outlets come and go, The Pie Stop’s 17year history speaks volumes. Over nearly two decades, the business has had only two owners, demonstrating its stability and the satisfaction of those who have operated it. This continuity has allowed The Pie Stop to build deep roots in the community and become a daily habit for countless regulars.
For buyers seeking a longstanding, highturnover food business with exceptional stability, strong brand alignment, and genuine scalability, The Pie Stop stands out as a rare and compelling opportunity. Operating from the same successful location for the past 17 years, this business has become a local institution. With weekly turnover of $25,000, a loyal customer base, and the backing of the iconic Phelans Pies brand, The Pie Stop offers the perfect blend of simplicity, reliability, and future growth potential.
The location itself has been a cornerstone of the business’s success. Positioned in the same highvisibility, easyaccess site for its entire lifespan, The Pie Stop benefits from strong traffic flow, convenient parking, and a layout perfectly suited to its fastpaced, grab and go model. The landlord is supportive and reliable, providing a secure foundation for long term operation.
Business Story
The business demonstrates strong, consistent demand. This revenue is supported by a continual stream of regular customers who rely on The Pie Stop for their daily breakfast, lunch, and snack needs. The simplicity of the offering means operations are straightforward, training is easy, and the business can be run efficiently by an owner operator and a small team.
Adding further value to this opportunity is the inclusion of a mobile food van, opening the door to additional revenue streams beyond the fixed location. The van provides flexibility to service events, markets, construction sites, industrial precincts, and private functions. It also acts as a powerful brand extension, bringing The Pie Stop’s offering directly to customers wherever demand exists.
For a buyer with ambition, the mobile van is just the beginning. The surrounding region includes large industrial workplaces that present ideal conditions for additional vans or mobile service points. With the right strategy, a fleet of branded vans could significantly increase turnover and expand the business’s footprint across multiple high demand zones.
While The Pie Stop is already a strong performer, there is substantial room for growth for a buyer looking to take the business to the next level. Key opportunities include Expansion of Mobile Food Vans; the existing van proves the model works. Scaling this into multiple vans servicing industrial areas, construction hubs, and commercial precincts could dramatically increase revenue with relatively low overheads. Introduce a Marketing and Digital Presence, the business has thrived largely on its reputation and location. Introduction of digital presence—social media, online ordering, or delivery partnerships—could attract new customers and increase convenience for existing ones. Catering Services, with its fast serve model and strong product range, The Pie Stop is perfectly positioned to offer catering for corporate meetings, worksite lunches, community events, and private functions.
After the business becomes yours, the current owners will gladly give you a generous period of tuition to ensure you are accustomed to running the business when the time comes. The tuition will run you through everything you need to know behind the scenes and allow the business to run optimally for your takeover.
The current owner is now looking for a career change and have this business primed and ready for a new owner. If you're interested in owning a thriving business in a sought-after location, this is the opportunity for you. Contact the Business Sales Group to learn more!

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.
