Some businesses come and go. This one has been here since 1941.
Positioned in a high-profile retail location in the heart of Oakleigh, this well-known florist and nursery has traded continuously for over 85 years, making it one of the longest-running independent retail businesses in Melbourne's south-east. The current owner has operated the business for more than 25 years, building deep relationships across the local community that continue to deliver steady, profitable trade year after year.
Revenue is supported by a genuinely diversified customer base including funeral directors, corporate accounts, schools, churches, and loyal local households. These are not one-off transactions. They are long-standing, repeat relationships built over decades that a new owner will inherit on day one.
The vendor has spent the past 12 months actively restructuring the cost base and modernizing operations. Delivery logistics have been consolidated into efficient scheduled runs, supplier arrangements renegotiated, and packaging costs significantly reduced through smarter procurement. These changes are already flowing through to improved profitability.
There is a clear and accessible growth opportunity here. The business has a professional website, but online sales remain largely untapped. For an owner willing to invest time into digital presence and search visibility, this represents meaningful additional revenue with minimal overhead. The fundamentals are all in place - strong brand recognition, reliable supplier relationships, and an established customer base. The upside is there for someone ready to build on it.
The business trades Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm, Saturday 8am to 4pm, with occasional Sunday openings for special days.
A genuinely resilient business through the toughest of economic times , coupled with a proud history, a streamlined cost structure, allows real room to grow. Opportunities with this depth of goodwill are rare.
