This long established floral and home decor shop has a well heeled clientele in a town which is up and coming as the new outdoor and sports center of the Pacific Northwest. Located in the sunny, east slopes of the Cascade Mountains, this area is growing rapidly with those seeking a place to retire from the greater Seattle area as well as upstart businesses whose owners want to live and raise their families in this outdoor mecca (see http://www.ccpd.com/). This favorable climate has always been a draw for outsiders seeking a beautiful locale for their wedding or other outdoor occasion. Many wedding locations have established themselves locally to meet this need. That means from early spring to late fall, Bloomers will have one or more wedding events booked each weekend. On occasion, Bloomers has also planned, coordinated, and decorated weddings for clients (though that choice would be up to the new owner). Bloomers has established itself as the boutique floral shop for the greater Wenatchee area including the nearby tourist town of Leavenworth and the summer resort area of Lake Chelan. While many businesses saw their revenues drop in these recent tough times, Bloomers revenues have continued to grow due to the specialty nature of the product and the higher income clientele who demand such quality regardless of price. As a compliment to the floral section, Bloomers has a prosperous home decor department. Located in the newly revitalized, and pedestrian friendly downtown, Bloomers home decor section has consistently increased in sales over the years.

Facilities: The 3000 sq. ft. street level shop includes a cooler room with double French doors displaying tiers of flowers and finished arrangements. A prep area includes the large stainless sink, sprayer, sink disposal and counter space making processing flowers a breeze. The elevated floral design area allows the Designer to watch the decor section of the store as they work. The front 2/3 of the store feature new track lighting and alterable shelves which highlight the home decor section. The 1500 sq. ft. storage basement is dry, heated, and well-lit.

Competition: Though there are some other flower shops in the The "Greater Wenatchee Area", Bloomers reputation as the premier floral shop has made it the shop most referred by the local funeral shops and event centers. Their reputation providing floral "art" and not just flowers assures their services have been in demand and their business increasing.

Growth/Expansion: Bloomers is providing flowers for 1-2 weddings per weekend 8 months per year. The level of involvement in planning, designing, and choreographing a wedding would be a market with great growth potential if desired. Many "wedding locations" have sprung up in this scenic "sunny side of the mountains" region. People from the Seattle-Tacoma region come here to hold their outdoor events due to the the drier climate. These locales are a growing business potential.

Support/Training: One month set-up help and negotiable after that.

Reason Selling: Other business opportunities beckon.
