NZ: Fruit and vegetable market up for sale
McKelvie’s Country Market is a long-established, family owned produce business operating from 284 Meeanee Road in Napier. The area is locally known as the ‘Golden Mile’ for its fertile soil resulting in the high quality fruit and vegetables produced and sold.
The freehold property comprising of three hectares of planted land, the shop, supporting buildings, staff facilities, equipment, and a four-bedroom home, has been placed on the market for sale with Bayleys. It is being marketed through salesperson Louise Wake via a tender process closing on April 30.
After 35 years, the vendors have decided to retire, allowing a new owner to take over an established, well-known business, said Ms Wake.
“This is an exceptional opportunity to take over a highly-productive and profitable business in the heart of Napier’s fruit and vegetable-producing area,” she said.
Land included in the property is planted in netted strawberries, peaches, nectarines, apples and pears – all of which are sold at the roadside shop, in addition to a full range of produce including stone fruit supplied from a nearby orchard.
“A new owner could take over the business and continue to run it as it is, or expand the current operation to further maximise profitability.”
