POUND-FOR-POUND, ONE OF THE BEST HOSPITALITY ASSETS IN THE COUNTRY.

If venues had a title belt, this is the one wearing it.

Inside just 413m², The Sporting Globe Plenty Valley throws off around $5.0m in annual revenue and circa. $750k EBITDA under full management — the smallest footprint in the network and one of the most profitable per square metre.

This is not a sleepy suburban local. It’s a pressure-tested, systemised, fully managed sports bar and grill in Westfield Plenty Valley, built to generate serious cashflow without demanding 70-hour weeks from its owner.

A BRAND THAT TALKS BEFORE YOU EVEN SAY HELLO

You’re not buying an idea. You’re buying “Australia’s most loved Sports Bar & Grill” in a centre where it is the undisputed home of sport.

Over 50 screens. Private booths. Modern Australian pub classics. AFL, NRL, NBA, NFL, UFC and major international events LIVE & LOUD.

Backed by national marketing, national promotions and a franchise system that already knows exactly what works. Guests recognise the brand, know the menu and arrive with intent.

WHY THIS VENUE HITS DIFFERENT

1. A LOCATION THAT PRINTS FOOT TRAFFIC

  • Front-row tenancy at the Westfield Plenty Valley railway station entry — you literally catch people as they walk back from the CBD and major stadium events.
  • Part of a major regional centre on Melbourne’s northern fringe, with strong visitation and a growing trade area behind it.
  • Surrounded by gaming-led pubs, Plenty Valley stands alone as the contemporary, non-gaming sports entertainment venue of choice.

You’re not hidden down a side street hoping to be found. You’re first cab off the rank.

2. A MARKET THAT LOVES TO SPEND

  • Established, family-heavy, high home-ownership catchment.
  • Predominantly white-collar workforce, high repeat visitation, resilient local demand.
  • This isn’t a “maybe we’ll go there” crowd — it’s a “this is our local” crowd.

The customer base has both reason and means to come back, again and again.

ENGINEERED TO RUN UNDER MANAGEMENT

This isn’t a personality-driven venue; it’s a playbook-driven one.

Sporting Globe Plenty Valley operates as a fully systemised, managed business under the national franchise model, with no requirement for day-to-day owner presence. A clearly defined leadership structure covers:

  • Compliance and venue operations
  • Kitchen efficiency and BOH labour
  • Functions and business development
  • Service standards and guest experience

The result: consistent standards, tight labour control and a venue that has repeatedly proven it can produce big numbers inside a compact footprint. You bring strategy; the venue keeps running.

THE NUMBERS THAT ACTUALLY COUNT

These are the kind of numbers you build a strategy around.

Current performance — fully under management

  • Annual revenue: $5.0 million+
  • Normalised EBITDA (after standard add-backs): around $750,000

Now the bit most listings never talk about:

Monthly EBITDA doesn’t lurch from hero to zero — it sits in a tight, controlled band for eleven months of the year, then spikes when December and the summer trade land.

That’s not just profit, that’s pattern .

Predictable, bankable cashflow — the kind you can comfortably gear against, plan around and sleep on — not the white-knuckle rollercoaster you get in venues that live and die on one big event.

DEMAND THAT OUTGROWS THE ROOM

Plenty Valley isn’t hoping for customers. It’s turning them away.

  • Balanced trading across all seven days, with strong weekends and solid mid-week.
  • Waitlists on peak days — in a venue this size, that’s a feature, not a bug.
  • Loyalty members and regulars fill the diary; daily specials and live sport fill the gaps.

On top of food and beverage, you get:

  • Strong TAB wagering performance and in-play betting
  • High transaction values across bar and bistro
  • Incremental income from pool table revenue

All of which can be sharpened further thanks to identified pricing headroom on both food and beverage. It’s a rare combination: more demand than seats, more levers than most operators know how to pull.

LEASED, LOVED AND LOOKING SHARP

Held under a long-term lease in Westfield Plenty Valley, the venue’s rent is aligned to current revenue levels and supported by a strong landlord relationship.

A rolling upgrade program has already taken care of the heavy lifting:

  • AV, lighting and RGB “change the room with the game” atmosphere
  • Custom graphics and refreshed furniture and layout
  • Key kitchen and bar equipment replacements

There is no backlog of “one day we’ll fix that” capex lurking in the background. And when a future refurb eventually comes due, the 413m² footprint means it’s a fraction of the cost of many big-box venues — reinforcing just how capital-efficient this business really is.

FOR OPERATORS WHO LIKE THEIR RETURNS TIGHT AND TIDY

This opportunity is built for experienced hospitality operators, multi-site groups and serious buyers who want:

  • A nationally recognised sports bar brand
  • Fully managed operations from day one
  • High revenue and EBITDA inside a compact, efficient box
  • A venue with more demand than seats and more systems than headaches

If you’re looking for a business where the systems are built, the demand is proven and the upside is all about how you choose to run it — this is it.
