Property Features and Assets:
Located on the busiest street in Cedar Rapids with 28,000 cars passing by each day, the business is housed in a wonderful two story home with a large two story addition. The property offers an outdoor sculpture garden and plenty of parking for events. The upstairs is currently gallery space but could be used for living space as it includes a kitchen and full bath. Two outside garages house a delivery vehicle and storage space for ladders, crates, packing materials and other equipment used for the business. Gallery owners own this unique property also own adjoining properties.
Market Competition and Expansion:
There are three other art galleries in town, and several framing businesses. The art galleries actually complement each other because they have such different offerings. Growth for art and framing is occurring due to flooding in 2007 and the rebuilding of our business community downtown. We have experienced more effects from that event than the recession. Fortunately art and framing sales have remained stable.
