Prickles Mexican Restaurant & Takeaway

This is a rare opportunity to own one of Darwin's most iconic hospitality venues. Since opening its doors more than 40 years ago, the restaurant has built a strong and loyal customer base, becoming a much-loved institution in the heart of Parap. Ideal for a family dinner, party or even a quite night for two.

The premises includes a commercial kitchen with ovens, flat grills, deep fryer, refridgeration, cool room and large storage facilities. As well as a large dining room and plenty of seating for up to 55, the restaurant also has a semi-secluded area for birthday parties or corporate events which can seat another 20 patrons.

There is a licensed bar, 3 x beer taps, sangria machine, and beer fridge, creating a complete and attractive package for patrons. All kitchen equipment, dining furniture and branding are included in the sale, with no further capital investment required. There is also a brand new POS system and is registered with online food delivery company Uber Eats. There is a separate takeaway area with its own entrance, making it a breeze for takeaway customers and uber delivery drivers.

The restaurant is a space bursting with vibrant hues - turquoise, fuchsia, sunflower yellow, burnt orange - walls animated with hand-painted murals of festive scenes: papel picado banners fluttering, Day of the Dead motifs, cactus silhouettes, making the space social-media friendly. While the theme is Mexican, the concept allows you to adapt easily to another culture if your prefer.

There is huge opportunity to grow the business by adding lunch service, Saturday Market mornings, seven-nights and more delivery platforms. With a great lease, ample parking, nearby residents, Prickles is ideal for an enthusiastic owner looking to take over a turnkey operation in the popular suburb of Parap.
