Central Ohio Scrapbook store $48,000

This store is in central Ohio but it is yours to move wherever you choose!!

Opened November, 2001 this "Turnkey" operation is for sale which means that on the first day of business you can start making money right away!

Imagine owning a scrapbook store without all the blood, sweat, and tears that go into setting one up!?! Appraised last year for over $140,000, we have since sold off portions of the inventory and fixtures but are still looking for the right person to take up the business and make it their own.

We have decided to reduce the price to only $48,000 in order make it a much more affordable opportunity for a buyer. Because of the reduction in price there are some items you may see in our photos that will be retained such as the die cutting equipment and a few other exclusions BUT if you are interested in this sort of opportunity-the furniture, fixtures, database, and inventory etc. are ready to go! We are even willing to assist you for an easier transition.

Currently there is over $50,000 of inventory to include in this sale along with all the furniture and fixtures needed to display and furnish a scrapbook store. Our custom made album shelves are free standing and have slat wall backers they are over 20 feet long and can be arranged as a room divider. Many of our fixtures are of the Maple finish style. There is also 28 feet of free standing slat wall fixtures with built in lighting! Serious inquiries may be made to scrapbookery@scrapbookery.com for a spreadsheet of assets included in this sale.

I have been in retail for 16 years with this being the eighth business I have started and run. Our store provides maximum display potential with the flexibility of free standing fixtures. Available are the cash wraps, class room tables and chairs, furniture, fixtures, inventory-the whole enchilada as the say!! We will be turning our attention to the custom work which has become the main focus for us the last two years so we will also retain our name and web site ownership.

The Point of Sale cash register system is ready to go with every SKU entered including several thousand customer contacts and every piece of vendor information you might need. (The POS alone took months to set up and perfect!)

Asking price is $48,000 featuring up-to-date and recently refreshed inventory*, furniture, fixtures, etc as listed above.

Make us an offer if you would like to have portions of the business but not all of it!

Photos and a partial list of vendors may be seen at www.scrapbookery.com

(740) 587-1555

*99% of the embellishments and tools were refreshed less than three months ago however, approximately 2,000 paper styles include all the basics, new styles and older selections.
