Hello Deb,

David has informed you that we are a new listing and that we have a web site www.everywares.ca which should be attached to the sale information for our business, EveryWares Home Ideas. He did not give me specifics as to whether you word the ad for me or are looking for a ready to post version, so I will give you the particulars and if there is more that you need from me, I trust you’ll let me know.

 

What we are:

 

EveryWares Home Ideas is a lifestyle/gift store which operated for 4 years in three locations within Nanaimo proper, on Vancouver Island, BC. A quality gift store recognized locally for its stylish products and range of beautiful lines.  Inventory includes French bed linens and Tabletop lines, Bath Accessories and Towels, Body products, Gourmet Foods, Glassware, Dishware, Vases, Cards and Gift wrap, Jewellery, Handbags and Seasonal Giftware mixed with soft furnishings for home décor.

 

It is for sale by owners Janelle Hoddevik and Marnie Martin. Business stopped operations February 12^th 2005 (much to the upset of its loyal clientelle) due to current location zoning problems.   The new owners must relocate the business. The sale of this business therefore consists of inventory, fixtures, point-of-sale computer system, display product, some signage, operating web site, logo’d packaging, plus customer and supplier lists. Thrown into the goodwill are 60 hours of consultation and training.

 

This business has proven that there is a loyal customer base willing to follow it wherever it relocates. Its product mixes are unique and very much in demand by both locals and tourists alike. The strong retail season is just beginning and will continue on to the peak season at Christmas. Operations do not require a heavy staffing, and are sufficient to support a partnership.

Deb I have not given super specifics on anything listed as there is so much within the stock, fixtures etc- is that necessary at this time? I’m assuming that when the interested parties arrive they will want to know then…  Get back to me.

I will forward the current pictures of the inventory I have on to you tomorrow, as I am late for Easter supper. Please watch for my email and attachments. Also- I have not received the contract for listing yet.

 

Thanks ever so much,

Marnie Martin
