01 · THE OVERVIEW

About this business

In the broker's words

Full description, as written by the broker

An outstanding opportunity exists to acquire Curled Icecream, a highly profitable and well-known mobile rolled ice cream business based in Darwin, Northern Territory. Established in 2016 and operating continuously since, the business has grown into one of Darwin's most recognised dessert brands and now operates across major events, markets and private functions throughout the Top End.

What makes this opportunity particularly unique is that the business is fully developed as a franchise system and officially registered on the ACCC Franchise Register, meaning a new owner can immediately begin selling franchises across Australia. The hard work of developing the franchise system, documentation, manuals and compliance requirements has already been completed.

With 2025 revenue exceeding $500,000, the business delivers strong margins with relatively low operating costs and no fixed retail lease.

Key Features:

Established and well-known Darwin business operating since 2016
Three fully wrapped mobile trailers plus mobile indoor unit
Plant and equipment valued at approximately $221,000
No retail lease mobile business with low overheads and low financial risk
COGS under 20%
Rolled ice cream made fresh to order using proprietary recipes
Regular bookings at major NT events, markets and festivals
Fully documented systems and operating procedures
Staff can be trained in only a few hours
Structured handover and transition support provided

$370,000 + SAV

The business has established ongoing arrangements with major events including Darwin Street Food, Palmerston Markets, the Darwin Show and many other festivals and corporate events, providing consistent trading opportunities throughout the year.

No prior experience is required. This is a systemised, easy-to-learn business with strong branding, proven products and established operating procedures.

This is a genuine turnkey opportunity offering not only a profitable mobile business, but also a ready-to-launch national franchise platform, providing significant future growth potential.

Opportunities combining strong profits, mobility, low overheads and franchise expansion potential are extremely rare.
