An Opportunity to Grow Your Business.
Inglewood has a unique and exciting opportunity for entrepreneurial individuals or businesses to manage a distinctive museum, kiosk, and retail space. This opportunity not only allows the operator to support the museum's operations but also to grow their own business in a prime location with highway presence. With flexible terms and reduced outgoings, this proposition is an attractive option for those looking to establish or expand their retail presence.
The Eucalyptus Distillery Museum has unique historical artefacts and exhibits that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the eucalyptus oil production in Inglewood and its surroundings.
To enhance the visitor experience, the museum offers several services, such as:
• Guided tours and potential educational programs
• A gift shop with eucalyptus products and local crafts
• A small café or kiosk serving refreshments
The location of the museum and retail space along a busy highway provides excellent visibility and accessibility.
One of the most appealing aspects of this business opportunity is the flexibility of terms and the reduced outgoings. These conditions make it easier for you to focus on growing your business without the burden of high operational costs.
