**ESTABLISHED ICE CREAM, CAKE & SHAKE SHOP — KNOX CITY, VIC**
**14+ Years Trading • $9,000+ Per Week • Secure Long-Term Lease • Zero Waste Model**
An outstanding opportunity to acquire a well-established, highly regarded ice cream, cake and shake shop in the thriving Knox City precinct. With more than 14 years of successful operation, strong weekly takings, a secure long-term lease and a loyal customer base, this is a rare suburban hospitality business delivering proven returns, lifestyle flexibility and clear upside — all in one acquisition.
Takings of approximately $9,000 per week have been built one happy customer at a time, through consistent quality, friendly service and the day-after-day reliability that turns passers-by into regulars. The shop is known locally as a go-to destination for premium ice cream, celebration and everyday cakes, and freshly made thick shakes — three complementary categories under one roof.
**A DIVERSIFIED PRODUCT MIX**
Three categories that feed each other:
• **Ice cream** — the walk-in impulse-buy backbone, drawing families, shoppers and after-school foot traffic
• **Cakes** — pre-ordered birthday, celebration and everyday cakes, lifting basket size with planned-purchase customers
• **Shakes** — thick shakes that convert afternoon and weekend trade into higher-margin orders
The result: a shop that trades consistently across the whole day, across the whole week, across seasons.
**PRIME LOCATION**
A prominent, high-visibility shopfront in a busy Knox City precinct attracting families, shoppers and residents — giving strong ongoing customer flow and clear scope to grow.
**ZERO-WASTE OPERATION**
A standout feature. In an industry where spoilage is the hidden profit killer, this business has refined ordering, portioning and daily routines to essentially eliminate waste — protecting margin, simplifying operations and making the business cleaner, greener and more profitable than most comparable sites.
**LIFESTYLE-FRIENDLY DESPITE STRONG HOURS**
The shop trades approximately 84 hours per week — full coverage of peak morning, afternoon, evening and weekend trade. Despite the extended window, it operates on a flexible owner roster supported by an exceptional team of qualified, experienced staff already in place. A new owner can be as hands-on or hands-off as they choose.
**SECURE LONG-TERM LEASE**
Removes much of the tenancy uncertainty that weighs on hospitality acquisitions, letting a purchaser focus on operations and growth rather than renegotiations.
**GROWTH POTENTIAL**
Clear runway to lift takings further:
• Custom celebration cakes — birthdays, weddings, graduations, corporate orders
• Party, event and function catering — mobile ice cream carts, pre-booked packages, school fetes, workplace events
• Shake menu expansion — seasonal flavours, loaded shakes, local collabs
• Online delivery via Uber Eats, DoorDash, Menulog for evening and weekend demand
• Collaborative promotions with local venues, schools and community groups
**WALK-IN WALK-OUT SALE**
Includes all business assets, full fit-out and equipment, trading name and established social media accounts — a complete, ready-to-trade package with the hard work done.
**WHO IT SUITS**
• A first-time buyer wanting a proven, revenue-generating business rather than a start-up gamble
• An experienced hospitality operator adding a quality site to their group
• A family or husband-and-wife team wanting a reliable, lifestyle-friendly business
Opportunities combining trading history, diversified product mix, secure tenancy, zero-waste operations and genuine expansion runway do not come to market often.
