Established in 1946, the Avonsleigh General Store provides the local and wider community with a providore where customers find the best products and giftware made from local producers. Locally made bread, honey, sauces, condiments, the finest cuts of fresh meat, flowers, grocery items, liquor and giftware. It is the perfect place to buy everything needed for a picnic in the Eastern Dandenong Ranges or just something to take home. A hidden gem in the hills.
There is a large carpark to the front and rear of the venue. Heading inside the store is very well presented with a great variety of high end, alternative products unlike other local shops. With the counter on the left the whole shop can be overseen from there including the Thirsty Camel bottle-shop with its rather distinctive presence at the rear of the store. Heading out of the rear of the store there is a large amount of storage, office space and a small kitchenette. It is easy to manage the store from this very comfortable environment.
The Avonsleigh General Store has a Packaged Liquor Licence from 9am to 11 pm. There are seventeen years left on the lease made up of 2+5+5+5 with rent coming in at $1430 a week including GST. An extensive fixture and fittings list is included with the store.
The shop was one of the few beneficiaries of the Covid lockdown with locals finding the venue and then continuing to use it on an ongoing basis. Open 365 days of the year many within the local community have come to depend on the store. The owner has run the venue more recently completely under management as she is spending more time interstate which is also her final destination. However, the store is better suited to an owner operator couple looking for a tree change with a consistent income in a low intensity environment. With a good set of financial information the vendor is looking for offers in the region of $450,000 for this exclusively listed general store.
This venue is now SOLD.
