Property Features and Assets:
Housed in the historic 19th century Seth Thomas Clock Factory, which is now Seth Thomas Industrial Park, at 1275.00/month, this leased space, provides 2400 square feet of workroom space, which is highly organized for efficiency, divided between hardwood floor woodworking/painting shop and carpeted drapery/fabric shop. This workroom has commercial overhead steam ironing systems, compressed air staplers and nailers, an automated fabric-checking machine and includes every tool an established drapery workroom should have. This workroom also boasts a unique , highly customizable, measuring and mock-up board that rises to 12 feet above the floor. It also includes two to three offices, with computerized bookkeeping and high speed internet service, a pleasant eatery and a large storage room. With 13 foot high ceilings and surrounded by glass on three sides, this fourth floor workspace is bathed in light and surrounded by views of the beautiful hills of Northwest Connecticut.
Market Competition and Expansion:
A recent study has shown that this workroom has generally not been affected by economic trends and is not highly dependent on the housing market. With practically unequaled quality and a reputation for the highest standards of service, (which is easily demonstrable in light of its numerous published works spanning over 20 years), and long-lasting relationships with our designer clients, this workroom has the stability of a well-established business. Most small businesses fail within 5 years; 30 years in business is indicative of a solid claim on market share, which is not likely to change. Furthermore, this business has always been able to expand its client base, at will, implementing its own, proven-effective, minimal advertising strategy.
Reason for Selling:
