Now is a Good Time to Buy a Cafe for Sale in Brisbane!
Brisbane has long been home to a strong coffee-drinking culture. Whilst it is often overshadowed by its southern neighbours of Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane has produced some of the best coffee roasters in Australia. We take a look at why now might be the best time to buy a cafe for sale in Brisbane.
In recent news Indigenous-led SupplyAus Holdings acquired the pioneering Brisbane coffee brand Aromas;
"Aromas Coffee Roasters, a brand that arguably founded the coffee culture of Brisbane in the 1980s, has been bought by local Indigenous-owned company SupplyAus Holdings in a deal that could see the business expand beyond the Queensland market." Business News Australia
SupplyAus already has its own established coffee brand, Dhuwa Coffee, which is sold through about 900 Woolworths stores nationally. With a strong focus on indigenous culture and employment opportunities, it looks to expand and build on the Aromas brand.
With the Olympics coming to Brisbane in 2032, all sights are set as SupplyAus co-founder Adam Williams shares;
"We are going to push and fight all the way to be the coffee brand at the Olympics in Brisbane”
Last month the Queensland government marked 10 years to the opening ceremony the of the 2023 Olympic Games. Whilst 10 years may seem like a long time, in the corporate world planning ahead is key, as shown by the recent acquisition of Aromas coffee. If your looking to buy a cafe for sale in Brisbane it could be part of a long-term plan, its a good idea to look at areas where the sporting events may be held, and develop a plan to acquire multiple cafes for sale.
Australians cherish their daily coffee ritual, with cafes seen on most street corners, and throughout shopping centres, both big and small. The coffee culture in Australia is rich and prevalent across every generation.
There are thousands of cafes for sale on Bsale for you to consider, with sunny Brisbane being a popular choice.
The Brisbane City council is dedicated to helping business owners become established and grow which is evident in their current initiative to showcase independent and artisan businesses from all over Brisbane at the Suburban Business Hub on 16 Aspinall Street, Nundah. Whilst it may not necessarily be focused on cafes for sale in Brisbane or inspiring cafe owners. It is a great way to connect with other business owners and offer support. Who knows you might just start selling artisan products in your new cafe!
A recent event was held on September 1, 2022, hosted by the Brisbane Council to answer questions about Government Grants available in Brisbane. Its these types of events that are supportive of business and encouraging to owners. If you are thinking about buying a cafe for sale, then Brisbane may just be the city you have been thinking of.
Tips for Buying a Cafe for Sale in Brisbane
If you are considering buying a cafe or coffee shop of your very own it's a good idea to know the perks over starting from scratch (which many people think is the only way!).
- Buy and Go - Buying an already established cafe for sale in Brisbane allows you to get in quickly and get to work. There will be no wait for shop fit-outs, equipment being delivered or hiring staff, as the sale of the cafe usually includes all of these things.
- Financial History - You will have records of the financial history of the cafe you are buying in Brisbane, allowing you to forecast future sales, and, if needed, make amendments to allow for more profit growth by adding in eat-in options, delivery, or extending the trading hours.
- Saving money - An entirely new shop fit out for a cafe can get quite costly (hello $200,000+), so you may be able to save money by buying a cafe for sale in Brisbane with all equipment and suppliers already established.
- Customers and Reputation - A lot of Aussies are loyal to their favourite cafes, so buying a cafe for sale in Brisbane that has established clientele and reputation allows you to build on this, rather than grow it from scratch.
- Location, Location, Location - Good spots don't always become available. When you buy a cafe for sale in Brisbane you might get it on the perfect street, in a popular park, by the train station or next to a key location for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.
