North West Hardware, Richmond

Looking to buy a well-established business in North West Queensland?


Do you want to invest in a safe, exclusive trade area with dynamic turnover?

Are you needing a change of pace to help support a better work-life balance?

North West Hardware is the opportunity you have been waiting for. A well- 
established, profitable, well-known local business in a progressive area of 
North West Queensland. 

 

Located in Richmond, Queensland 4822, North West Hardware has been 
operating in the same location for over 12 years. With an established logistics 
network and over a decade of supplier relationships, the business is well-
positioned to take advantage of expanded opportunities presented within 
the region in agriculture (including cattle and cropping) and mining. 

 

Exclusive trading partnerships with major brands are in place and the 
business is well supported in the retail sphere through buying group 
affiliations. The business has two full-time employees and current owners 
can assist to ensure a smooth transition upon purchase. 

 

Currently, only one of the two owners is actively engaged in the daily 
operations of the business. This presents a great opportunity for additional 
owners to actively seek new business and develop product ranges to broaden 
the scope and enhance profit. 

 

Now is the time to get into the retail space in Richmond as opportunities open 
to support land diversification in the area. Large corporations are actively 
seeking and executing developments, with a progressive Council on board to 
encourage these investments in our region. 

 

With room to grow, North West Hardware presents a fantastic opportunity 
for an astute or aspiring business owner to nurture existing relationships while 
attracting new customers, increasing sales, and improving profitability. Your 
time is now!
