A good friend picked up a full-service embroidery and awards shop. Long story, but he bought it for pennies on the dollar because the guy that owned the business was renting his building. The guy set up shop and ran it for a year, then walked into the bank, handed them the keys, and said "It's yours." Don tried to make a go of it but, as he put it, "my heart just wasn't in it". He's too independent to run a place with a bunch of employees and a retail storefront. Not his cup of tea so he wants to get out.
It's a helluva deal for someone - full embroidery shop, a complete screen printing shop, and a fully stocked trophy/plaque/award shop. I think he's asking $390,000 for the whole thing, including the building.
I think his web site is still active even though the business is officially closed.
