This commercial property has been very busy operating successfully for the past 12 years as a Mini Supermarket and Takeaway Business. It could also be a café and restaurant (just recently built), Micro Brewery, Gin Distillery, Bakery, or other specialty business. The current owner has highlighted that this is a very affordable purchase or lease depending on how you structure your business. He mentioned that the gross income from selling about 35 cups of coffee per day would near on cover the monthly lease or mortgage.

With an approximate 2,400 vehicles passing daily, the property is located only a few hundred meters off the National Highway A20, (Sturt Highway) which connects SA to Victoria, ACT, NSW, and QLD, seen first on the left entering the township and therefore cannot be missed.
