Apparel & Beyond is a turnkey custom apparel and printing business located in the heart of Kentlands, Gaithersburg, MD. This 1,000 sq. ft. storefront offers prime visibility with exceptionally low rent of just $1.06 per sq. ft. (~$1,060/month) — far below market rates.
The business is fully equipped and move-in ready, including a Ricoh Ri 2000 DTG printer (refurbished with spare parts), Sawgrass SG1000 sublimation printer, conveyor dryer, multiple heat presses (incl. 8-in-1 drinkware press, hat press, and tag press), POS system, racks, signage, retail displays, and ~$1,000 in blanks and apparel inventory. Also included are a branded website, established social media accounts, pricing system, and vendor approvals with American University and University of Maryland.
Profit margins average 54%, well above industry norms, with minimal to no advertising to date. This demonstrates strong conversion rates and significant potential for growth once dedicated sales and marketing are applied.
Growth opportunities include:
Expanding into sublimation products (mugs, tumblers, tote bags, ornaments, socks, etc.)
Leveraging AU and UMD vendor approvals for campus organizations, teams, and events
Bulk orders for schools, leagues, and local businesses
Corporate contracts and community partnerships
Increased walk-in traffic from new Kentlands development
Scaling e-commerce sales through the existing website and social platforms
This is an excellent opportunity for a buyer to acquire a profitable, low-overhead, fully equipped apparel shop at a fraction of the cost of starting from scratch or buying into a franchise. With the systems, equipment, and approvals already in place, a motivated owner can rapidly scale this business to six figures and beyond.
