A TOOWOOMBA supermarke­t close to the city’s centre will head to auction within weeks following a massive upgrade.

The site featuring an IGA and Elite Cryotherap­y on Hill St in Newtown will go under the hammer on May 3 through Ray White Commercial.

Agent Mark Wynhoven said the property had just undergone a $140,000 renovation to make sure it was ready for a new investor.

“It’s ready to be sold. It’s set up and in a really good place,” he said.

“It was back at the start of their lease (that they started the renovation­s) - worth about $120,000 to $140,000.

“We had some really good inquiries and there’s been a lot happening so far.

“The front or northern-facing tenancies offer great valueadd and additional income including a new four-year lease to Elite Chryothera­py.”

The supermarke­t is close to three different schools and also had 45 car parks on-site.

Mr Wynhoven said while the listing was still fresh, he already had two dozen inquiries from interested parties.

“I’ve genuinely got a page and a half of inquiries, about 25 initial inquiries while we were just finishing off renovation­s,” he said.

“Now it’s all done and ready to go, we’re hoping it will be ready for someone to jump in.

“We’re after an investor looking at a better return and more secure leases.”

The auction will be held at 10.30am. For more details, call Mark Wynhoven on 0434 190 856.
