Share on Reddit Business Description
This manufacturer is one of the few remaining domestic manufacturers of artist canvases, stretcher bars, screen printing frames, and related art supply products. Operating out of a 25,200 sq. ft. facility, the company has built over 40 years of brand equity, a loyal customer base of 23,309, and an exceptional online reputation with 959+ reviews and a 93% five-star rating.
The business generates revenue across 10+ product lines and multiple sales channels, including its own Shopify storefront, Amazon (FBA/FBM), and key B2B relationships. With 2025 revenue of $2,089,692 and promising projections and partnerships for 2026, it is well-positioned for continued growth. The current owner operates only 20–25 hours per week, demonstrating the business runs efficiently as a semi-absentee operation with a strong, experienced team in place.
Its domestic manufacturing position provides a significant competitive advantage in today's tariff environment, as import-dependent competitors face steeper duties on finished goods. The business also benefits from a transferable Employee Retention Subsidy, offered through the city, that runs through 2030.
