Rare Opportunity in Sedona's Iconic Tlaquepaque
Located in the heart of Sedona’s iconic Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, The Artist’s Kitchen Shop is an award-winning destination retailer offering a thoughtfully curated selection of premium cookware, tabletop collections, knives, specialty foods, linens, décor, gifts, and artisan merchandise.
Established in 2016, the shop was created as a distinctive alternative to conventional kitchen and housewares stores. Customers are drawn to its knowledgeable personal service, strong visual merchandising, broad product selection, and memorable shopping environment. The business has earned international recognition through the IHA Global Innovation Awards for retail excellence and has been featured in Tableware Today, Housewares International, Tlaquepaque Magazine, and Flagstaff Business News.
The store operates from approximately 2,000 square feet of retail space with an additional 200 square feet of office and support space. It is supported by three experienced part-time employees. The owner currently contributes approximately 28 hours per week, including about 21 hours in the shop, five hours of administrative work, and two hours of shipping.
The sale includes the established business name, logo, domain name, completed but not yet launched e-commerce website, phone number, social-media accounts, active customer loyalty program, transferable customer information, vendor relationships, operating systems, goodwill, and approximately $15,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Inventory is sold separately at seller’s cost and adjusted at closing.
Growth opportunities include launching the completed website, expanding e-commerce, retaining Sedona visitors after they return home, strengthening loyalty and email marketing, increasing remote ordering and shipping, introducing exclusive merchandise, and using sales and inventory data to improve turnover and purchasing.
After more than 40 years as a successful independent retailer, the owner is retiring and seeking the right successor to build upon the shop’s reputation and carry it into its next chapter. The Artist’s Kitchen Shop may be purchased separately or together with BowWow Sedona as a two-business acquisition opportunity.

- Employees
- 3 Part-time
- Facilities & Assets
- The Artist’s Kitchen Shop occupies approximately 2,000 square feet of beautifully merchandised retail space, plus approximately 200 square feet of office and support space, within Sedona’s iconic Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village. The current lease extends through June 30, 2028, with assignment subject to landlord approval.
Approximately $15,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment is included in the sale. The space also features approximately $10,000 in custom ceiling and wall murals, which contribute to the shop’s distinctive atmosphere and are considered decorative leasehold improvements rather than removable fixtures.
The sale also includes the business name, logo, website and domain, phone number, social-media accounts, transferable customer information, vendor relationships, operating systems, and goodwill. Inventory, currently estimated at approximately $270,000 at seller’s cost, is sold separately and adjusted at closing. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The Artist’s Kitchen Shop occupies a distinctive position in Sedona’s specialty retail market by offering a broad, carefully curated assortment of premium cookware, tabletop collections, knives, specialty foods, linens, décor, and artisan merchandise.
The business competes through knowledgeable personal service, strong visual merchandising, product discovery, immediate availability, and a memorable in-store experience that is difficult to replicate through national chains or online retailers.
Its location within Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village provides exposure to both local customers and Sedona visitors. International recognition through the IHA Global Innovation Awards, along with coverage in Tableware Today, Housewares International, Tlaquepaque Magazine, and Flagstaff Business News, further distinguishes the store from conventional kitchen and housewares retailers. - Opportunities for Growth
- The Artist’s Kitchen Shop offers significant opportunities for growth. An existing domain name and completed e-commerce website have not yet launched, providing a ready foundation for expanding sales beyond Sedona and allowing visitors to continue shopping after they return home. The business also has an active customer loyalty program that can support repeat purchases, email marketing, special promotions, and customer retention. Additional opportunities include expanding the online product assortment, increasing remote ordering and shipping, strengthening social-media and digital advertising, introducing exclusive or private-label merchandise, and using sales and inventory data to improve turnover and concentrate purchasing in the strongest-performing categories. A new owner can also build upon the shop’s international award recognition, media coverage, established vendor relationships, and distinctive brand.
