This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, 70-year-old business specializing in high-end custom framing, art and antique frame restoration, and fine art services. Located in a desirable Midwest location with reasonable rent, this business has built a strong national reputation through decades of word-of-mouth referrals, walk-in clientele and trusted relationships with interior designers, collectors, and art professionals as well as a strong repeat business from existing clients.
