Maple-finish drawer units allow color products to be merchandised at eye level, and arranged for convenient browsing and sampling. Current hours of 10am-7pm Mon-Sat can be extended to Sundays. 2.5 years remain of a 5 year lease with option to extend.

Market Competition and Expansion:

This opportunity will not last long. Please respect confidentiality and do not inquire at the store. Training available through seller. Initial and on-going training will be provided locally by Merle Norman Inc. There are great opportunities for increased income for this currently profitable business. Extending open hours to include Sundays will bring in more visitors. Currently only one advertisement runs per month in a mailer. Advertising to specifically target any of the studio’s products or services can prove highly effective.
