Business for sale

Christopher Neighbourly Lead from Tararua District

This up-and-running edition is up for grabs!

Benefits of owning a Coffee News franchise:
✅ Work your own hours: Choose your own hours and set your own pace. Enjoy the flexibility of managing your business to suit your lifestyle.
✅ Affordable investment: With low overheads, this is a fantastic opportunity to become self-employed without breaking the bank.

What's involved?
📌 Deliver your weekly print edition throughout your delivery area.
📌 Sell advertising spaces in each edition to local businesses.
📌 Receive a fresh batch of printed editions delivered to your door, ready for distribution each week.

Potential Earnings:
If all 32 advertising spaces are sold at full price, this area could generate a monthly turnover of around $5,400 + GST. Currently, I am sitting at $1,900+ GST

With other free newspapers closing down, there is a real opportunity to attract new advertisers. Currently, this edition covers Palmerston North, Feilding, Ashhurst, Woodville, Pahiatua, and Dannevirke. There is also the option to split the edition into two to increase potential earnings or remove it from some of the locations.

Why Coffee News?
🏡 Work from home at times that suit you.
🤝 Build rewarding relationships with local businesses and your community.
📢 Promote community events in the "What's Happening" section—event organizers will contact you for publicity.
💡 Help small businesses with affordable advertising and weekly exposure to local customers.

If you're a people person with the drive to succeed, this could be your chance to continue growing something amazing in Manawatu & Tararua!

Why am I selling?
I am working through some health issues and also own another edition. I’m looking to downsize my commitments.

Price: $9,200

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
