Gardens Lake Cafe

Leasehold - $220,000

MHB is delighted to present for sale, the leasehold business of the Gardens Lake Cafe, Ararat.

Presenting an outstanding opportunity for an owner-operator, couple, or lifestyle buyer seeking a thriving hospitality business in regional Victoria.

Established lakeside cafe operating since 2016 from council-owned premises in Alexandra Gardens.

The business combines cafe, takeaway and outdoor seating, serving local regulars, community groups and visitors to Ararat and the Grampians region.

The most credible upside is to build from the cafe’s existing food quality and customer goodwill.

The initiatives below are suggested opportunities. Each should be tested against the lease, council permissions, food registration staffing capacity, local demand and purchaser capability.

* Protect and sharpen the core menu
* Create signature food occasions
* Convert group traffic into bookings
* Extend catering and takeaway
* Lift average spends
* Use digital channels to sell the setting

Key Features:

* Established and operating since 2016

* Lakeside Alexandra Gardens location with indoor and outdoor seating

* Low reported rent and overheads

* Casual staff and loyal local customer base

* Nearby pool, playground and sporting facilities support visitation

* FY2024/25 reported net profit of $146,371

This cafe is not simply another food outlet. Its landscape, recreation adjacency and established place in the garden can support a destination identity, relaxed dwell time and customer occasions that a conventional retail tenancy may struggle to reproduce.

Inspections by appointment only.
