Custom Awards, Embroidery and Signage Business
Business Description
A rare opportunity to acquire two well established and complementary businesses operating together under one roof in the Greater Duluth, MN area. With a combined legacy spanning nearly five decades, this operation has built deep roots in the community and a loyal recurring customer base across multiple product and service categories.
This business brings together custom awards and recognition, commercial embroidery, and professional signage under one roof, creating a one stop shop that serves a wide and diverse client base. Customers include local businesses, schools, sports organizations, corporate clients, nonprofits, and individuals across the region who return year after year for consistent quality and personalized service.
This is not a startup. The systems, the equipment, the vendor relationships, and the customer base are already in place. A new owner steps into an operation with immediate revenue, established workflows, and a reputation that has taken decades to build.
The business is particularly well suited for a marketing company, promotional products distributor, print shop, or creative agency looking to bring these capabilities in house. For an independent owner operator, it offers the rare combination of multiple complementary revenue streams, a loyal community following, and significant room to grow through expanded marketing and outreach.
Key highlights include nearly 50 years of combined operating history, multiple product and service categories generating diverse and recurring revenue, an established and loyal client base across the Greater Duluth area, trained staff and operational systems ready for transition, and strong strategic fit for both owner operators and industry acquirers.
Serious inquiries only.

About the Business
- Employees
- 2 Part-time
- Facilities & Assets
- The business operates out of a well organized commercial space designed to support efficient day to day production and customer service.
The layout includes a dedicated front desk and customer service area, allowing for a welcoming first impression and smooth order intake. A designated screen printing area supports that side of production with the space and setup needed for consistent workflow. A separate work area houses the embroidery and additional production machines, keeping operations organized and efficient.
The facility also includes a large storage area, which holds current inventory along with additional equipment not currently in active use. This space offers the flexibility to expand production capacity or introduce new product lines without the need for additional square footage.
All equipment, machinery, and fixtures necessary for full operation are included in the sale, providing a turnkey opportunity for a new owner to step in and begin production immediately. - Opportunities for Growth
- This turnkey operation offers clear paths to expansion. Underutilized equipment and available production capacity create immediate opportunity to grow without major capital investment. Expanded marketing and outreach to schools, sports organizations, nonprofits, and commercial clients could meaningfully increase recurring revenue. The flexible month to month lease allows a new owner to scale space or renegotiate terms as the business grows. Production staff are experienced and familiar with operations, supporting smooth scaling of hours or output. With low capital requirements after acquisition and 100 hours of seller transition support, a motivated new owner is well positioned to grow sales channels, expand service offerings, and build on nearly five decades of established goodwill.

About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Pursuing other career opportunities.
- Transition Support
- The seller is committed to a smooth and complete transition for the new owner. This includes comprehensive hands on training on all equipment and machinery, ensuring a new owner feels fully confident operating every aspect of the business from day one.
Training will cover machine operation, design software and digitizing processes, production workflows, and day to day operational procedures. The seller's willingness to provide this level of support significantly reduces the learning curve typically associated with acquiring a business in this industry and allows a new owner to step in with confidence rather than starting from scratch.
The length and structure of the transition period can be discussed and tailored based on the needs of the buyer.
