After 35 years behind the chair, countless conversations, and generations of loyal clients, the scissors are finally being put down!
The Opportunity
The business is being offered for sale due to the owner’s planned retirement. After successfully establishing and operating Aces of Fades in a prime Surfers Paradise location since 2010, the owner has decided to retire after many successful and profitable years from the industry. The sale is not performance-related, with the business continuing to trade strongly. A well-established brand and growth opportunities provide an excellent platform for the incoming new owner.
This beloved barbershop in Surfers Paradise is located in the heart of the Gold Coast’s vibrant tourist and retail precinct. Situated on busy Orchid Avenue, just minutes from the beach, Cavill Avenue, cafés, hotels, and nightlife, the shop enjoys consistent walk-in traffic from both locals and visitors, with loyal clients over many years, the perfect blend for a steady, profitable & reliable income.
Aces of Fades isn’t just a business, it’s a place where many visitors and locals have come for a great cut, a friendly chat, and that sense of being looked after. The shop has a loyal, repeat clientele, glowing online reviews, and a welcoming vibe that keeps customers coming back week after week.
This turnkey operation comes fully fitted with high-quality chairs, mirrors, cabinetry, and all professional barbering equipment, along with retail stock (Approx fitout cost $100K + stock) all included in the sale.
