Eacham Place Produce is the premier retail stockfeed shop in the Cairns district with a solid client base including dairy and cattle producers, horse racing and spelling, performance horse, hobby farms and domestic animals. The business has been operating for over 20 years and is offered on a walk in/walk out basis. Turnover is well over $1m with annual growth and room for further expansion and efficiencies. The business will be sold with all necessary plant and equipment including 4.5t Mitsubishi Canter curtainsider truck, 2.5t petrol/gas container CAT Forklift, and recently renewed office equipment.

The business trades 5.5 days a week and is focussed on stock and pet feed with some pet care lines which means no expensive hardware or saddlery sitting on the shelves and a modest stock on hand of approx $60k. In addition to the drive through the business has deliveries 5 days a week to the surrounding areas on the Atherton Tableland and to Cairns, providing a substantial base of weekly return custom.

The business is currently run by one owner with 4 casual staff but is well suited for a family or couple and was purchased by the current owners with this intention. Unfortunately other business interests have prevented current owners to work the shop as a couple.

No prior experience in stockfeed is required with a 4 week training period and detailed daily procedure manuals available, and very reliable and experienced staff including delivery driver on hand.

The shop is located in the small rural town of Malanda which is situated on the Atherton Tableland just over an hour from Cairns.

Confidentiality agreement and further details are available.
