Expression Of Interests

Published on February 22, 2009 in Today. View Comments

An opportunity awaits.

I am looking for person or persons who would like to have an involvement with the future business development of The Old Coach House in Turakina.

At present the premises and grounds are used as a private residence and home stay. A shop is being developed at the front of the main building in the original part of the coach house.

The Coach House is situated on state highway 3 at the junction to Marton . There is a enormous amount of traffic going past the front door. The location is also halfway between Bulls and Wanganui creating a natural stopping point for travellers.

The property could be developed in a variety of ways to take full advantage of the location and premises.

A few suggestions

· Micro Brewery

· Garden Centre

· Coffee stop

· Lunch venue

The owner is looking for a business working partner, silent partner or investor etc, (even a live in situation can be discussed) to assist in the development and financing of the project.

If you are interested in confidentially discussing the opportunity to develop a historic building into a commercially viable business please contact me

I started to offer accommodation on a home stay basis from the 1st of January and really didn’t expect to many visitors this season, but hey I have had a steady flow of guests. They are also quite varied Kiwi families and French cyclists senior volley ball players etc. So I will continue to promote and improve facilities as we go.

The shop is nearly there most of the fridges etc are in now all i have to do is stock it and throw open the door and see if we get any customers or i should say how many customers to see if its viable.
