Three eateries owned by slain Brisbane businessman Greg Josephson have been shuttered and another business venture is on the market after his death last month.

The sudden closure of the cafes and storefronts on the Sunshine Coast were announced on social media on Monday evening, almost a month after Mr Josephson, 58, was allegedly murdered at his home in the up-market inner-city suburb of Clayfield.

Mr Josephson’s family made the tough call to close Cafe Noosa, Noosa General Store and Eumundi Sourdough Co, on July 14, after losing their “wonderful owner”.

A fourth location, Cafe Doonan, will remain open to “honour Greg’s dream”.

“Words can do this loss no justice,” the post by the Cafe Doonan team read.

“Greg was on his way to create an amazing hub of businesses, with a passion and drive that was unmatched. He loved being a part of this community and had an impressive vision for the four locations.

“He was a kind and gentle man who is missed dearly by all staff. We are deeply saddened by this loss.

“We know this comes as quite a shock, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience caused.”

A Noosa Hinterland holiday escape, Rosecliffe Boutique Farm Cottages, is currently on the market.

Mr Josephson’s was allegedly murdered on June 26 at his six-bedroom family home on Oriel Rd by a 15-year-old boy known to him, who cannot be identified for legal reasons.

Queensland Police will allege they were called to the property by the teen around 8pm and arrived to find dozens of children there for a party.

Mr Josephson was laid to rest last week, with the service held at the Catholic Church within 150m of his home. His widow, Tamra, remembered her husband as generous, happy and intelligent man who was a “true gentleman”.

Two weeks ago, investigators launched operation Xray Matte and urged community members to come forward with CCTV or dashcam footage from the night as they continue to piece together what occurred.

Mr Josephson was a successful businessman who co-founded fashion retailer Universal Store alongside his brother, Michael, in 1999. They sold the business two decades later for $100m.

The boy will reappear in court on September 2.
