CAFE/ BAKERY - MONEY AND LIFESTYLE.
Talk about a resource and mining boom. Have a look at this little gold mine. Current owners have exposed the virtues of owning and operating a small business in the beautiful Gulf of Carpentaria in the Port Township of Karumba. Business is still growing with an outside patio/deck area being constructed to hold all the patrons, whom consume copious amounts of great sweet pastries and gourmet pies washed down with the best coffee for hundreds of miles around.
The core business is based on a long established bakery with a reputation for quality and service. The best fundamental within this business is the fact that there is no local competition from other bakeries or large retail chain stores. This coupled with a massive increase in customers during the tourist season and normal activities during the wet season. This business allows an owner operator to make a buck when it's busy and kick back and catch some mud crabs and famous barramundi when you can. There are other avenues for business growth with the increase in mining activity in the area.
