Award Winning St Helens Newsagency and Lucky Lotto

After much deliberation and over 22 years at the helm, the owners of this fabulous small community driven business have decided to sell the business and take time out, therefore providing an opportunity for new motivated and enthusiast sea changers to take this business to the next level.

After taking over the business back in 2002 it was quite evident that improvements were required along the way with the current owners then setting out to repaint and tidy where necessary. It was soon after the improvements were made that the St Helens agency proudly took out "Agency of the year".

As you would have observed, the Business is extremely well positioned upon one of the most, if not the most prominent sites within the St Helens township, the corner of Cecilia St (Tasman Highway) and Quail Street, benefiting A1 exposure to multiple street frontages. Foot traffic is consistent throughout the year with the local Pharmacy, Post office and numerous eateries only steps away. There are numerous sealed car parks surrounding the business / property with ample free on street parking literally at the door.

Naturally one of the main business strengths is the sale of Tatts tickets and Scratchy sales, selling dreams to many lucky winners over the years. Important to note the Lott Franchise Agreement Renewals with Tattersalls Sweeps Pty Ltd (Tatts tickets) and Golden Casket Lottery Corp Ltd (scratchies) are up to date.

As Sub agent, another business strength is of course the access to numerous Statewide and National Newspapers, this whilst also being a full agent to a very wide range of magazines.
Important to note that the business owners relinquished the paper run some time ago freeing up those early mornings as the appetite for customers purchasing within the store was more favourable and of course community based.

There is a rather large and quite impressive display of assorted giftware including everyday newsagency stationary and assorted merchandise.

The Business also has within a fabulous Florist outlet, consistently busy providing both fresh flowers and bouquets to the St Helens community and beyond. There never seems to be a shortage of stock as the business always holds sufficient stocks for consumer and group requirements.

So if it's that coastal cash flow sea change that you are seeking, then this opportunity may be exactly what you are looking for. Scope is there to introduce new ideas to the local market with location and exposure a given.

*Financials are available upon request and returning of signed confidentiality agreement
*Naturally there will be a requirement for The Lott to approve and of course train new owners as to the running's of the franchise, this can generally take 6 8 weeks.
*Opportunity there to also purchase the Freehold if required, an excellent prime position.
