WALKAMIN GENERAL STORE & FUEL STATION – BUSINESS & FREEHOLD FOR SALE
Prime Position on the Kennedy Highway | Renovated & Reopened July 2024 | Enquire Now
Perfectly positioned on the busy Kennedy Highway between Atherton and Mareeba, Walkamin General Store presents a fantastic opportunity to purchase not just a well-supported local business, but the freehold property as well.
Originally purchased in March 2023, the store underwent extensive renovations before reopening in July 2024. The result is a modern, clean, and low-maintenance business with upgraded electrical wiring, new fuel systems, and a growing reputation for quality grab-and-go food.
This long-standing general store sells groceries, takeaway food, and fuel, and is a well-known stop for locals, truckies, tradies, and farm workers. It operates 5.5 days a week—7.30am to 5.30pm on weekdays and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays—with plenty of room to expand the hours and boost profitability.
The food offering has quickly become a local favourite, featuring bacon and egg burgers, chicken wraps, loaded hot dogs, paninis, fried snacks, Ravenshoe pies and sweets, and more. While there’s currently no made-to-order menu or dine-in seating, there’s ample room to introduce garden seating and expand the food offering.
Walkamin General Store sells an impressive selection of local and regional products, including Emerald Creek Ice Creamery, Skybury and Jacques Coffee, Mungalli Milk, Shaylee Strawberry Jam, Tommybee Honey, Kuranda Cookies, Ripsaw Jerky, and Ravenshoe Bakery goods.
The fuel station has been upgraded with a new 12,000L above-ground diesel tank, an integrity-tested 5,000L ULP tank, and a new non-branded bowser, along with new suction and vent lines. The majority of the fuel system is less than 12 months old and requires minimal upkeep. A second 5,000L underground tank is not in use.
The kitchen is well-equipped with a grease trap, rangehood, fryer, griddle, convection oven, and more—ready to handle a wide variety of hot food with ease.
Currently, the owner works part-time in the business (Monday to Wednesday) with the support of a casual team. It would be an ideal setup for a couple or family to take over and increase net profit by being more hands-on.
This is a rare chance to purchase a fully renovated, easy-to-run business in a growing area with minimal local competition and huge potential to scale, especially through food sales and extended trading hours. With a loyal customer base and a strong community presence, Walkamin General Store is ready for its next chapter.
