NewsXpress Newsagency – Tully

Business Overview
Established for over 50 years, NewsXpress Tully has been owned by the sellers for 17 years and presents an excellent opportunity for prospective buyers. The business has achieved impressive profits and success by offering a diverse range of products, including magazines, newspapers, giftware, toys, children’s books, stationery, souvenirs, homewares, and lottery. NewsXpress is Australia’s premier retail marketing group comprised of over 200 local, independent stores.

With two lottery tills and the latest Golden Casket fitout, NewsXpress Tully has strong revenue from lottery sales and is ranked #93 in Queensland. The business has the distinct advantage of being the only lottery agent from Innisfail to Cardwell.

A new owner will have the immediate benefit of a 2% increase to profitability through the increased commission rates offered by The Lott in July 2023. Taking this increase into consideration, the net profit to a single owner would be $170k+ pa and two owners could expect $240k+ net profit.

This is the perfect business for an owner-operator looking to leave the city and move to the beautiful Far North Queensland region. The new owner will not require specialist skills as full training can be provided.
