38 Moore Street Rochester, VIC 3561

A rare opportunity to take over a long-established local business without the commitment of purchasing the freehold!
Located approximately 180 km north of Melbourne, between Bendigo and Echuca, the welcoming township of Rochester services a thriving rural and semi-rural community of around 3,200 residents.
The opportunity is now available to purchase the established Rochester Post Office business and lease the shop premises, providing an ideal entry point for an owner-operator or husband-and-wife team looking to establish themselves in a trusted, essential community business.
Operating from its current location for over 100 years, the Rochester Post Office has built a strong reputation and remains an important service for local residents, farmers and businesses throughout the district.

The Business Opportunity
The business offers an established operation with existing customers, infrastructure and a range of essential services, including:
• Australia Post parcel and mail services
• Finance and insurance services
• Identity and document services
• Travel services
The spacious, bright and well-presented shop includes a large service counter, two Australia Post EPOS machines, two label printers, one scanner and two manual cash drawers.
There are also 362 Post Office Boxes, the majority of which are currently leased, providing an established customer base.
With Australia Post products occupying approximately one quarter of the shop floor space, there is excellent potential to introduce complementary retail products or services to expand the business and create additional revenue opportunities, subject to any required approvals.
Shop Lease Opportunity
The successful purchaser will have the opportunity to lease the existing shop premises, allowing them to take over the business without the significant upfront cost of acquiring the freehold property.
This arrangement offers the flexibility to concentrate on operating and growing the business while leasing the premises in a central Rochester location.
Lease terms and rental details are available upon enquiry.
Trading Hours: Monday to Friday: 9:00am - 5:00pm
The established trading hours provide a manageable operation for an owner-operator or couple looking to run their own business.

Prime Township Location
Positioned in the heart of Rochester, the business is within easy walking distance of local shops, cafés, medical services and other essential amenities.
The town also offers primary and secondary schools, along with convenient V/Line connections to Bendigo, Echuca and Melbourne.
Rochester's strong agricultural and regional customer base provides an ongoing need for postal and associated services.

An Opportunity to Be Your Own Boss
Whether you are an existing business operator looking to expand, a couple seeking a lifestyle change, or someone looking to take the next step into business ownership, this is an opportunity to acquire a recognised and long-established business with the benefit of leasing the premises rather than purchasing the property.
Business only - freehold purchase not required.
