Handcrafted Clocks
Status as of Nov-21-2008 at 06:07 PM: Off The Market
Business Summary
This retail clock shop in the Amish country of southeastern Pennsylvania has excellent profitability and potential for further growth. The owner custom handcrafts grandfather, grandmother, wall and mantle clocks on location. Each is handmade from the finest materials and is made to order. The shop also sells Howard Miller, Hermle, Westminster and Hurst clocks. The business has very little competition and stands out for its wide range of clocks, strong customer service, good warranties, competitive pricing and on-site work.
A new owner could increase the already good gross sales by advertising more and using the web to reach new customers. The shop does little advertising, instead getting new customers through referrals and tourism, which makes up between 60 and 70 percent of business.
The business is in the heart of Pennsylvania’s Amish country, which draws thousands of tourists each year. The area is known for its old-fashioned charm and country living. The county contains an abundance of outdoor recreation, shopping, museums, wineries, and bed-and-breakfasts. The area has easy access to nearby larger cities, such as Philadelphia and Harrisburg.
The shop is located in a 2,800 square foot building with a showroom, a workshop, storage space and a 2-car garage on a state highway. The same property contains the owner’s 4-bedroom house with 2.5 bathrooms and a full basement. The owner would sell both buildings with the business or sell just the business, depending on the new owner’s needs.
The owner might be willing to stay on for a few weeks after the business sale to facilitate a smooth transition.
