Unique country cafe & bar - Deadline Sale

The Green Man is a Peel Forest institution that has been serving locals and visitors alike for nearly 6 years. With a reputation for excellent food & coffee, service and hospitality, the business has an established customer-base and goodwill, with excellent reviews and ratings behind it. The cafe has seen steady performance, weathering the pandemic and now seeing an increase in activity with the return of tourists to South Canterbury.

This 206m2 (approx.) 1970's concrete building has excellent street frontage and profile in the village, as well as convenient roadside customer parking directly in front of the building.

The building currently contains a full commercial kitchen, toilet facilities, two log burners for heating, and large customer areas (rated for 80 persons).

Currently configured as a licensed cafe and function space, the opportunity also exists to adapt the space to a variety of alternative commercial needs.

The extensive chattels list contains everything required to purchase the business as a going concern. With established coffee, food and beverage supplier agreements, this presents an excellent opportunity for someone entering the industry or for an experienced operator.

With no competing business within 25km, the business has a captive market with the increasingly popular Peel Forest right on its doorstep.

Also included with the business is an opportunity to purchase the Geraldine RD20 mail run from Peel Forest to Mesopotamia, providing a supplementary income throughout the year.

The landlord is prepared to write a new long-term lease for the incoming leasee, providing security for any prospective purchaser.

With affordable rent & low overheads this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a unique business proposition with potential.

To be sold via Deadline Sale, closing 6pm 1 May 2024.
