Café on McCoy – Business for Sale
A well-established Waikerie café with loyal local trade and strong visitor appeal
Are you looking to enter the hospitality industry, or make a lifestyle change in one of South Australia’s beautiful Riverland towns?
After many years in the industry, the owners of Café on McCoy are looking to slow down and explore new horizons, creating an opportunity for a new owner to take over this well-known and much-loved Waikerie business.
Café on McCoy has been a mainstay of the Waikerie community for many years, enjoyed by both locals and visitors to the region. The café offers coffee, hot and cold drinks, breakfast, lunch, hot food, ready-to-go options and quick-to-cook items, catering to a broad and regular customer base.
The business has many loyal local customers and has become a familiar catch-up spot for community groups, friends, workers and travellers alike.
Waikerie is located approximately two hours from Adelaide on the major Sturt Highway, positioned on the popular travel route between Adelaide, Mildura and the eastern states. The Murray River is also a major attraction for holidaymakers, with strong visitor numbers during school holidays, long weekends and public holidays. Retired travellers also pass through the region regularly, helping support mid-week trade throughout the year.
The business has been well maintained, with considerable reinvestment and upgrades completed over recent years. Improvements include new cabinetry and counters, updated signage, front-of-house repainting, exterior improvements, stainless steel handrail, ramped side access, CCTV and a complete kitchen strip-out and refit.
The kitchen upgrades include high stainless-steel splashbacks, stainless-steel benchtops, handbasins and floor coverings, providing a clean, practical and compliant food preparation environment.
The business has also invested in quality equipment, including a Unox high-speed oven, commercial dishwasher, refrigeration and point-of-sale systems. These improvements have increased efficiency and supported the ongoing delivery of quality food, drinks and service.
Café on McCoy also benefits from established supplier relationships, including Amanti Coffee, which supplies quality coffee and coffee-making equipment. The café also sells locally made Nippy’s fruit juice products, South Australian Golden North ice cream and the Coca-Cola range.
There is plenty of scope for a new owner to take the business in their own direction. With a fully equipped kitchen, established customer base and strong local and visitor appeal, this is an ideal opportunity for someone ready to step into hospitality or expand their existing business interests.
The business operates from leased premises with an accommodating landlord who is supportive and understands the needs of small business. A new lease agreement, or the possible purchase of the property, may be negotiated as part of the sale.
