Apparel & Beyond is a turnkey, debt-free custom apparel and printing platform located in the heart of Kentlands, Gaithersburg, MD. This offering is structured as an asset/FF&E sale of a fully built, operational print shop — ideal for an owner-operator or growth-focused buyer seeking a ready-to-run DTG-based business.

The business operates from an approximately 1,000 sq. ft. storefront with excellent visibility and exceptionally low rent of ~$1.08 per sq. ft. per month (~$1,082/month), well below current market rates for the area.

The sale includes all owned equipment and infrastructure necessary to operate immediately, including a Ricoh Ri 2000 DTG printer (refurbished with spare parts), Sawgrass SG500 sublimation printer, conveyor dryer, and multiple heat presses (including drinkware, hat, and tag presses). Also included are a Square POS system with barcode-based inventory management, racks, retail displays, signage, approximately $1,000 in blank apparel inventory, and 280+ upcycled, ready-to-sell retail pieces valued at over $4,000.

Additional assets include a branded website, established social media accounts, a documented pricing and quoting system, and approved vendor relationships with American University and the University of Maryland. All equipment is owned outright. There is no debt and no equipment leases.

The business is currently operated as a lean, single-owner model with minimal fixed overhead and no employees. Core production is DTG printing (approximately 95%), with additional sublimation capabilities already in place. Supply chain and operations are straightforward and well-documented. Most buyers can be trained to operate the system quickly with minimal technical background.

This business was intentionally built as a capital-light, scalable platform, not a passive or cash-flow acquisition. Historical revenue reflects a startup phase with reinvestment into equipment and capacity rather than profit extraction. The value of the offering is driven by the owned assets, buildout, systems, approvals, and lease position, not trailing multiples.

Growth opportunities include expanding sublimation products (mugs, tumblers, tote bags, ornaments, socks), leveraging existing AU and UMD vendor approvals for campus organizations and events, increasing bulk orders for schools and local businesses, developing corporate and community partnerships, benefiting from increased walk-in traffic from continued Kentlands development, and scaling e-commerce through the existing website and social platforms — all without significant additional capital investment.

Important Buyer Note: This is a startup-stage, owner-operated business offered as an asset/FF&E sale, not a passive investment or cash-flow business. It is best suited for a buyer who wants a fully built print operation to actively run and scale.

Asking Price: $62,500 (FF&E and inventory included).
