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.
