Business Description
For 40 years, this custom frame shop has been the go-to destination for fine picture framing in the heart of five vibrant Vermont communities. Perfectly positioned near a college art museum and serving both local residents and seasonal visitors, the business is trusted with high-value artwork, heirlooms, and family treasures.
This business is ideal for someone with an artistic eye—whether you’re a practicing artist, art teacher, or simply someone with a passion for design and aesthetics. The work requires an appreciation for tastefully pairing artwork and photographs with frames, matte board, and interior settings.
The current owner has streamlined operations with modern equipment and processes, including automated matte board cutting and specialty framing software, making the business easy to learn and operate. With six months of transition support offered, this is a smooth entry opportunity into a creative and community-focused profession.
