About the Business
This is a well-established clothing alteration business with a strong local reputation and loyal walk-in customer base. It features a dedicated shopfront with direct street access, making it ideal for foot traffic and giving the owner flexibility to set their own hours or expand services.
The premises also includes a private bathroom with toilet, offering comfort and convenience for an owner-operator working solo.
The business is fully equipped with quality sewing machines and workstations (equipment value approx. $10,000), and operates on a low-overhead model. Demand is consistently strong — so much so that the current owner often has to turn away customers due to limited working days. This creates a clear opportunity for a new owner to increase revenue by expanding hours or taking on more work.
Located in a busy neighbourhood strip, it benefits from high visibility, steady walk-ins, and repeat clients from nearby residential and commercial areas. Services include garment alterations, hemming, repairs, resizing, and fitting adjustments.
The current owner trades 5 days per week, with 2 closed days — offering immediate potential for increased revenue by extending hours.
Ideal for a tailor, dressmaker, or hands-on operator looking to run a profitable business with minimal staffing. Handover support and training can be provided.
Easy to manage, profitable, and ready for someone to step in and take over. NDA required for further details.
History
The business has been operating successfully for over 8 years and has built a strong reputation for quality service and reliability. Most clients come through word of mouth and repeat visits, without any advertisement.
