AGENT’S REPORT
SITUATED in the middle of the busy Bulcock Street retail and cafe strip in Caloundra, this store has a prominent position and continues to benefit from the population growth of the southern end of the Sunshine Coast.
This specialist retail franchise has proven itself as a success since first opening in Australia in 1981, and today’s point of difference is the expertise of the staff to assist customers with the best footwear selection – aided by The Athletes Foot in-store Fitprint computer system that measures pressure points in the heel and provides detailed information regarding foot characteristics and proper fit.

The staff members receive special training and accreditation by the franchisor.  This attention to service is appreciated by customers and recognised by many local podiatrists who provide referrals.
As you might expect, as part of The Athletes Foot franchise, you’re dealing with big brand name suppliers, so the marketing and promotional aspects of the business are well planned and executed allowing the owner to focus on selling and their own local promotional initiatives.
The original owners have grown the business and maintained immaculate records since opening the store in 2004, but feel it’s time to pass the baton on to new owners and retire. It’s a perfect opportunity for an active local couple to work the business, earn a good income and tie it in with sporting interests.

AGENT’S REPORT

THE reputable and award-winning Gelato Mio on Coolum Beach’s bustling tourist strip offers
one of Queensland’s premier gelato ice-cream experiences.

The fantastic main esplanade position in this expanding beach destination, right next door to
The Coffee Club, close to the beach and opposite the caravan park, assures high foot traffic –
from locals and tourists alike.

Using time-honoured home-made recipes and natural hand-selected ingredients, Gelato Mio
offers customers a premium quality product and enjoys little in the way of competition.
No prior gelato-making experience is necessary. All production methods are highly systemised
and easy to learn and the outgoing owners are happy to assist with buyer training.
Established in 2003, this business shows consistent strong returns and can either be run
under management or with a hands-on approach by a husband and wife team.

The state-of-the-art commercial Italian equipment has an impeccable service history and the
authentic and quality fit-out perfectly reflects the premium product on offer here.

With holiday trade coming on-stream, and exciting prospects for growth, this is a fabulous
business opportunity for the discerning buyer.
