I am finally making the BIG Plunge decision to close my 60 year old shop that I have been at the helm for over 25 years.

The shop offers:

ART RESTORATION - mostly paintings and objects

PICTURE FRAME RESTORATION -

POSTERS - PRINTS - OTHER ART

READY MADE FRAMES

---------------
The shop has an inventory of sellable goods, frame materials, equipment of $240k. Like everyone else, I would prefer to the business as a turnkey operation. For $70,000.

The 8,300 sq foot building is also available (including rentable 2,300 sq ft area)
Lease @ $8.50 sq ft nnn or buy $ $650k.

I'm sorry to hear of your closing. I'm in the final bits of cleaning my place out after just shy of twenty years. I totally get the BIG PLUNGE, it was such a hard decision to make. I wish you well and hope you can sell it outright.
 
Jerome, Ruth, Best of luck to you on your new ventures. Grumblers are more than friends, they are family. You guys are always welcome to chime in, anytime.
 
Gosh Jerry, that's less than 1/3rd the value of that inventory!! I find it so very sad that we work for so many years at what we really love to do and, when it comes time to take a road less traveled, we have to nearly give our accumulation of inventory and tools and all the things that we have found to be time savers in our business away to someone who may not even know what some of those items are used for.

I wish you the very best of luck in finding a buyer for the package and I hope that you will follow your dream into another facet of your adventure through this life we lead.
