For those seeking a rewarding lifestyle business, it doesn’t get better than this! The famous and much loved Maldon Lolly Shop: business, freehold and self contained residence is offered for public sale for the first time in its 30 year history due to the retirement of its 3rd and present owner.
THE FREEHOLD
The land size is approximately 175m2 and stretches from High Street at the front to Tobin Street at the rear. The internal floor space for the shop is approximately 43m2, plus it has a mezzanine storage loft. As well as the shop front there is a packing room which includes further storage, a new kitchen and a re-modelled bathroom.
The one bedroom residence at the rear was built only 6 years ago and has never been used. It includes a full kitchen, sitting area, bathroom with laundry facilities and a restful, covered verandah with a pretty outlook. The residence would suit accommodation for the owners, or will provide an additional income as a B&B, or long term tenancy. There is also a drive through garage at the rear of the property which was built at the same time as the residence.
THE BUSINESS
This charming little shop offers an extensive range of good old fashioned and traditional confectionery to delight the taste buds of visitors and locals alike. It is a true ‘journey back to childhood’.
Clients include locals, tourists and holiday makers, schools and bus groups and those who regularly pass through town for work or to visit close by regional centres.
The fixtures and fittings are included in the sale price and stock will be sold at valuation. The shop is well laid out and brimming with goodies! The lolly shop has a good Facebook presence but would benefit enormously from a commercial website. A full list of inclusions can be provided along with financials to genuinely interested parties.
Eye-catching display of confectionery memorabilia Something special for all ages Warm friendly service Trades 7 days per week (only 10.00 – 4.30pm) Easily run
ABOUT MALDON
Nestled at the foot of Mount Tarrangower in a pretty little valley, Maldon has a resident population of approximately 1600. The township is located in Central Victoria, 125 kilometres from Melbourne, 17 kilometres northwest of Castlemaine, and 38 kilometres southwest of Bendigo. Known as ‘Australia’s First Notable Town’, Maldon is a National Trust listed town, and boasts an extensive history of gold mining. The township is now a popular tourist destination, boosting the town’s population each weekend and at various festival and holiday times during the year.
The town has been wonderfully preserved, with the wide, tree-lined main street featuring old buildings and shop fronts. There is also a tourist steam train. Aside from the cafes and galleries, the town appears unchanged from the gold rush days. It is a wonderful lifestyle location with hospital, good schools, shopping and banking. (Everything you need).
This is an excellent opportunity to walk into a very satisfying and rewarding business. No experience is needed, just good old customer service skills. The business and/or freehold property are now on the market. To express your interest, please enquire today.
