Colway Superette & Bottle Store Business For Sale
Ngaio, Wellington, New Zealand
Your opportunity to continue this prosperous business Ngaio and Khandallah are among the wealthiest of Wellington’s inner city suburbs. Wellington is New Zealand’s capital city and many workers commute daily from the suburbs to Government jobs in the City Centre. Some travel by suburban bus, some by suburban train, while others drive to and from their homes to town. Colway Superette and Bottle Store on the corner of Khandallah Road and Colway Street in Ngaio is ideally positioned to capture passing trade from both commuters and local home owners: - Khandallah Road is a major western arterial that links Khandallah and Johnsonville with both Karori and the central city. The pedestrian crossing outside the business slows traffic – they can't help but notice the Superette with its bright yellow colour scheme. And there are 6 handy customer car parks right outside the front entrance.
- The Awarua Street Railway station (Johnsonville to Wellington city line) is just across the road and there is a suburban bus stop right outside the Superette front door.
- The Ngaio School is just a few doors along Colway Street and hundreds of kids and parents pass the Superette daily.
The Colway Superette and Bottle Store is an integral part of the Ngaio shopping precinct – there is a Chiropractic Care Centre next door and the Ngaio Medical Centre is on the other side of Khandallah Road. Further along there is a gallery, café, Plunket, shops, BP petrol station, and a pre-school. With such a central location, it's no wonder that the owner can proudly attest to knowing at least 90% of his customers, many on a first name basis.
