Only bakery in Barooga

Significant opportunity to further grow the business
Established in 2021 by the current owners, The Lefty Baker has quickly become a local favourite and a must-visit destination in Barooga. Specialising in handcrafted donuts, gourmet pies, and locally roasted coffee, this award-winning bakery boasts a menu full of fresh, house-baked delights that have earned glowing praise from loyal customers and food lovers alike.
Strategically located on the main street of Barooga, The Lefty Baker enjoys a high-visibility position between the local Xpress IGA and the Barooga Post Office. As the only bakery in town, it benefits from minimal competition and high foot traffic, serving as a daily meeting place for locals and a welcoming stop for visitors passing through the region.
The bakery's products are baked fresh onsite daily and can be enjoyed in-store or taken away. Customers can order conveniently via the business's website, with a service window at the front of the store available for quick pick-up. The Lefty Baker currently supplies lunch orders to a local primary school and operates the canteen for a local football/netball club, strengthening its community presence and consistent income stream.
The business has built a reputation for fantastic customer service, which is reflected in numerous glowing online reviews. One of the owners works full time as the head baker, supported by a full-time pastry chef and a team of six part-time and casual staff members across various roles.
There is significant opportunity to grow the business further. Potential avenues include supplying additional schools with lunch orders, taking on another sporting club canteen, and launching community pie drives. The wholesale arm of the business also has scope for expansion, with possibilities to supply more businesses in surrounding areas and to offer frozen wholesale product lines.
The freehold is available for sale by negotiation. The premises are in very good condition, with a building floor area of approximately 449 square metres on a total land area of 885 square metres, offering ample space and a prime street front location.
With a strong foundation, loyal customer base, and room for expansion, The Lefty Baker presents an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator or investor to step into a thriving and well-loved regional business
