Premium Regional IGA Supermarket with Exceptional Growth Potential
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is the kind of business that seasoned buyers wait years to find. A large-format, fully managed and comprehensively equipped IGA supermarket, just two hours from Melbourne’s CBD in Victoria’s North West — currently turning over in excess of $120,000 per week, with a proven trading history, a liquor licence, and significant upside for a hands-on operator ready to take the reins. The current owner, committed to other pursuits, has kept the business running entirely through its existing team. That means the infrastructure, the systems, and the staff are all in place. What’s missing is an owner with the time and drive to push this business back to its peak — and beyond.
WHY THIS BUSINESS STANDS OUT
— Current weekly turnover consistently exceeding $120,000, providing a substantial and proven revenue base with clear upside potential.
— Less than 3% occupancy cost, significantly below industry benchmarks, providing an outstanding foundation for long-term profitability.
— Large-format IGA supermarket spanning more than 2,000sqm, serving a broad regional catchment across North West Victoria.
— Strategically positioned within easy reach of Ballarat and Bendigo, while remaining only around two hours from Melbourne CBD.
— Fully managed by an experienced on-site management team with established operating systems and trained staff already in place.
— Long-established IGA supermarket with a loyal customer base and strong community presence.
— Valuable packaged liquor department supported by a fully operational liquor licence, providing an important additional profit centre.
— Full-service fresh meat department with on-site butchering and daily fresh meat preparation, complemented by an established café and deli operation.
— Fully equipped with commercial refrigeration, plant and equipment, allowing a purchaser to continue trading immediately with minimal capital expenditure.
— Exceptional long-term lease security with multiple further option periods available.
— The current owner has adopted a passive ownership model while focusing on other business interests, creating a genuine opportunity for an active owner-operator or experienced supermarket group to unlock significant additional value.
THE UPSIDE
This business has already demonstrated its ability to generate significantly higher sales under active ownership. The current owner has intentionally stepped back from day-to-day operations to focus on other business interests, creating an outstanding opportunity for a motivated purchaser to unlock the business’s full potential.
With hands-on management, enhanced merchandising, further activation of the fresh departments, extended promotional initiatives and continued optimisation of the liquor and café offerings, there is a clear pathway to restoring previous trading levels and driving future growth.
Businesses of this scale, supported by exceptionally low occupancy costs, long-term lease security, an established management team, a liquor licence and comprehensive fresh food departments, are becoming increasingly difficult to secure throughout Victoria.
For experienced supermarket operators, multi-store groups or investors seeking a substantial regional supermarket with genuine upside, opportunities of this calibre are exceptionally rare.
