Established customer base

Dugong Café is a well-established café, and has been servicing the Caboolture community since 2017 out of their popular shopfront in The Lakes Centre on King Street. 

Dugong Café is known for its homely atmosphere and vibe in the café — something that customers can’t get enough of – as well as their specialty burgers, coffees, wraps and more.

The café’s success and loyal customer base has been built primarily on word of mouth recommendations, while their great quality food, atmosphere and service turning these first-time visitors into regular customers.

The café’s surroundings of a barber shop, salon, first-aid training centre, breast screening clinic, dental clinic and more, also plays a vital role in generating customers and increasing revenue. There’s also more than 100 car parking spaces available at The Lakes Centre, which brings in regular passerby customers.

The business has, and comes with, all the equipment required such as a fully-air conditioned shop, a point of sale system, dishwasher, display cabinet, counter fridge, drinks fridge, grill toaster, chest freezers, bar fridges, signage and much more. 

The coffee machine and grinder are currently leased, but the leasing cost is free of charge when you buy beans directly from the supplier.  

About the Opportunity

This is a great opportunity to secure a well-run, well-established Caboolture based business with a very healthy profit margin! Sadly the new owner needs to sell due to severe health issues and must sell the business. In her own words:  “A recent serious health diagnosis during the purchasing stage has not enabled me to commence my dream for the Dugong. And, very sadly and reluctantly have had to put the café back up for sale…”

Dugong Café itself has since sustained consistent growth since its maiden year, in terms of profits, despite not engaging in any marketing or advertising-related efforts.

And, for the right person, it wouldn’t take much to grow the business further. By utilising social media marketing or Google advertising tactics, along with a website complete with online ordering functionality, direct-to-door delivery services, expanding the menu, local area marketing tactics and more.

This is where you come into play, as the newest owner of Dugong Café!

Asking price: $89,500 (includes all stock & equipment)
