3 Tobacconist(2 with Lotto) shops on the Sunshine Coast QLD

The three stores are situated in shopping centers with steady foot traffic and plenty of parking. The Sunshine Coast area is expanding, and two of the stores are located within the largest residential developments in Australia, poised for growth in the short, medium, and long term due to favourable demographics. 

Each store is equipped with robust “cigarette” cabinets and comprehensive security cameras throughout the store, storage, and frontage areas. 

Each shop has a manager responsible for staff scheduling and overall performance, reporting daily to the owner who has stepped back from daily operations and visits only once a week. 

The industry is introducing a new licensing scheme that all tobacco retailers must comply with by September 2024, which will halt parallel imports and significantly boost cigarette sales. 

The staff receives ongoing training, and one of the stores has been recognised as the best training centre by Lotto, hosting a new Lotto licensee for a week of training and receiving compensation for it.
