In continuous operation since the mid-1980s, this long-standing retail business has become a trusted fixture in downtown Santa Barbara, consistently producing healthy profits for its owner.
The shop’s carefully curated mix of products and services keeps customers returning year after year. A modern inventory tracking system records each item’s sales history, while annual reporting enables precise inventory control and effective seasonal planning.
Operations are supported by three full-time employees, with the owner contributing about 8 hours per week on-site and an additional 20 hours remotely. Independent contractors manage specialized roles such as marketing, newsletters, the bookshop, and social media—creating a comprehensive support structure.
The business benefits from a below-market lease in a central downtown location, with convenient parking available nearby.
Efficient, profitable, and fully staffed, this turnkey operation is perfectly suited for a first-time operator seeking a stable, well-established business with strong community ties and proven systems already in place.
