Located in the rural area of Gargett, 52kms West of Mackay and supported by locals, this Australia Post registered post office is a great aspect that compliments the supermarket business. Being an older community, it provides locals with full post office services and the physical location is fantastic for this demographic.
The business is known as Gargett General Store and Post Office, and it has been in this location since for over 35 years. The main road frontage on the Mackay Eungella Road has easy access with both street and off-street parking. Something you may not know is that Gargett has a large residential and farming catchment and is only a short drive to Eungella National Park which is about to boom with the introduction of international mountain biking and further tourism industry.
The store has a large commercial kitchen with a pizza oven. The uses for this could be expanded to the introduction of themed food nights for locals to come together and could maybe even introduce a restricted alcohol licence. There is plenty of opportunity that is ripe for the taking with this venture and all it needs is a driven buyer to realise the full potential.
The freehold property includes a 3-bedroom residence, in addition to the commercial buildings that the business operates out of, on 2024m2 of land. The block has ample space to potentially expand into stock feed, allowing more diverse options top of what is already in place.
