Here’s the chance to own and operate a successful business a stone’s throw away from one of Auckland’s most popular city beaches.
On the market for a new owner to scoop up is the Village Co-Op, serving locally roasted coffee and homemade ice cream at St Heliers Beach.
A well-known hangout for locals and visitors just down the road from the beach, the Village Co-op has been serving tasty treats and caffeine fixes for the past 13 years.
The suburb is recognised as one of the city’s premium beach areas to live in.

For visitors, ample free parking in the surrounding streets and close proximity to the white sandy beach create a hassle-free day out for the family.
And there’s something for everyone at Village Co-Op — from the most recent flavour trends to vegan, dairy and gluten-free options, there’s a scoop to suit everyone’s tastebuds.
Angus Rodwell of ABC Business Sales says, “With summer only a few months away and the borders reopening, the time is now to scoop this business up and start perfecting the technique of hand-crafted ice cream and freshly brewed coffee.”
Average weekly sales of over $9000 and high profit margins give the business great turnover with very little wastage.
The cozy shop interior allows for quick and easy service with a few seats out front for customers to sit and enjoy the goods.
The large area out back has all the machinery and storage facilities needed to operate with the added benefit of a full commercial kitchen that has been sub-let in the past by the current owners.
“The key to success in a business like this is purely based on having a passion to serve local customers and of course the visitors through the summer months,” says Rodwell.
There will be full training for the new owner so the Village Co-op would benefit from having a working owner who enjoys working with their hands and getting creative. The new working owner can expect a potential cash surplus of around $80,000 a year.
The asking price is $180,000 plus stock.
