Looking for a sea change? Here is an affordable business opportunity to run your own business. Minnie Water Store is the only store in the village. It’s had a beautiful make over in the past 12 months with a sit-down café area added to the strong takeaway offering. It is ideal for a family, couple or entrepreneur looking to add something special to an established and growing business. The store is located opposite the beach front with uninterrupted views of the ocean.
The general store consists of everyday staples such as milk, bread, newspapers and magazines along with a large variety of groceries and merchandise including: Fruit and veg, ice, beach accessories, bait and tackle, sunglasses and hats, cold drinks, ice creams, cigarettes, confectionery, firewood, gas, bottle shop and service station.
There has been an extensive repairs and maintenance program completed in the last 12 months to provide a reliable working environment.
The store is supported by a strong clientele with regular repeat business of holiday makers and local community members. Once the Woolgoolga to Ballina road works are complete there is the potential for flow on tourist trade as the highly lucrative Queensland market will be 45 minutes closer!

It’s surrounded by National Park, located right opposite Minnie Water Main Beach, which has beach front facilities for visiting families, surfers, holiday makers. Minnie Water has a large caravan park, many holiday houses and National Park camping area less than 400 metres away. Nearby Wooli has two caravan parks and is only 15klm away. As the only store in the village, with strong local planning laws ensuring Minnie Water Store and Minnie Water Caravan Park are the only commercial enterprises in the area, the opportunity is unique!
