THE Business for Sale Marketplace

This charming art gallery and gift shop is located near the heart of this affluent Orange County beach city. The business has a prime retail location on a busy street with lots of vehicle and foot traffic from tourists and local residents! The gallery offers paintings, art work, pottery, and beach-related gifts and jewelry by local artists. Some of the artists pay a monthly fee to display their art work, which covers most of the business expenses, while other artists sell their art on consignment. A wide variety of paintings are on display, including portraits, landscapes, seascapes, and comic art, all of which sell very well. This business is perfect for an enthusiastic buyer who wants to take it to the next level, or for a husband and wife. The owner has also identified opportunities to grow the business through extending the hours, being open on Sundays, advertising the business, and pursuing the new artists requesting to display their artwork in the gallery. There is also the potential for the gallery to be run by an absentee-owner. Approximately $15,000 in inventory is not included in the sales price but is available at an additional cost. The owner bought the business earlier this year as a retirement hobby for his wife and himself, however, he has since developed health problems, and needs to sell now.
