BUSY TOURIST TOWN – NO DIRECT COMPETITION – LOCAL FAVOURITE

Community. Connection. Coffee.

Posie Project is a spectacular inclusive space, encompassing both a Coffee Bar and Retail Outlet. Considered a community treasure, the business offers dual income from local trade plus the huge number of tourists exploring the beautiful Mount Dandenong area.

A new owner could immediately boost revenue by extending weekend trading hours, offering online ordering, creating an online retail store or even expanding the café offerings.

A town upgrade is currently underway which will create a more efficient intersection, more shop parking (in front of Posie) and a pedestrian crossing located closer to the shop front.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a creative local to hit the ground running, in a prime location. All the hard work of set up, branding, community connection and solid relationships have been built for you. Do not let this get away from you.
