Be Your Own Boss - Creative Workshop Business w/Liquor License!
Business Description
DIY Craft Studio + Beer & Wine Service – The Ultimate Creative Venue
This is a well-established, turn-key DIY creative studio where guests make personalized wood projects in a fun, social setting. The space blends hands-on crafting with a relaxed, upscale atmosphere—offering a unique experience that combines art, entertainment, and community. With options for public workshops, private parties, corporate events, and seasonal experiences, the studio serves a wide audience and has earned a loyal customer base.
Guests choose from a large catalog of customizable designs, then stain, paint, and assemble their project with guided help from staff. Each session is part creativity, part social outing—perfect for birthdays, date nights, girls’ nights, team-building, fundraisers, and family fun. The business is fully equipped and ready to operate, with streamlined systems and supplies included.
A standout feature is the fully licensed bar and Michigan Tavern License (beer and wine only), allowing guests to enjoy drinks while they craft. This valuable license not only enhances the experience but opens up profitable opportunities through beverage sales, private tastings, and themed events like wine & wood nights or seasonal mix-and-make parties.
The studio includes custom-built workbenches, retail displays, workshop tools, stencils, wood stock, POS system, branded décor, sound system, aprons, signage, lighting, and all essential operational assets. Inventory and franchise-compliant materials are included for a seamless transition. The space is welcoming, efficient, and designed to host both small and large groups comfortably.
Marketing has primarily been handled by the owner, including social media posting and local outreach. A professional marketing service was recently added to improve brand presence, drive workshop attendance, and streamline promotions. This service offers optional upgrades that can significantly expand reach, including targeted advertising and lead generation—giving the new owner scalable tools to grow.
Growth opportunities are abundant. A motivated buyer could pursue untapped areas like corporate bookings, team-building events, bridal showers, and off-site workshops. There’s also potential to expand the calendar with more themed events such as trivia nights, murder mystery builds, or seasonal pop-ups. Hiring a larger, well-trained team would allow for more consistent operations and greater capacity for expansion. Currently, the owner carries most of the daily workload, making this an ideal opportunity for someone ready to grow a thriving, hands-on business with strong community roots.
Whether you're looking for a lifestyle business that sparks creativity or a scalable venture with multiple revenue streams, this studio is positioned for success. With a loyal customer base, turnkey systems, a rare beer & wine license, and support from a proven franchise model, it’s ready for a new owner to take it to the next level. Full training and transition support will be provided by the current owner, and the franchise offers robust onboarding, operational guidance, and marketing resources to set you up for success from day one.
