Why Nightowl
We’ve been around for over 40 years, but we’re still young at heart
NightOwl is a national convenience franchise system established in 1975 as Australia’s first 24 hour trading Convenience retail business.
First franchised in 1987, we have never stopped growing and with an exceptionally strong brand presence, we now operate over 69 stores
throughout Queensland and New South Wales.
Customers will come to you
In Queensland, NightOwl’s market share has grown to over 35% of the convenience market, putting NightOwl as one of the largest
convenience franchise store operators in Australia – supported by the longevity and loyalty of our customers.
Your success is our success
If you want continued growth year on year, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll never be left without support. We continually invest in franchisee training, modern marketing methods, advanced technology and systems, profitable supplier relationships, store refurbishment and
continued expansion into the convenience market.
You can keep growing
NightOwl Franchisee’s can operate a single franchise or multiple franchises within the group – and are given an exclusive territory.
If you don’t have a location, we can help. We use specialist demographic and site analysis to assess an appropriate site for all new NightOwl
stores. Many are located in superior convenience sites with other nationally recognised which complement each other and create a
strong destination and impulse based customer offer.
