It has built up a very loyal local following over the last 16 years, and also caters to tourists and visitors to the nearby Long Beach convention center. The business association in Belmont Shore is very active and conducts many special events and attractions on 2nd Street, which draw tourists from throughout Southern California. The boutique carries exclusive labels and better priced items of trendy clothing, shoes, accessories, and jewelry. Inventory turnover is very high in this busy, high-volume store. Sales of accessories and jewelry, which have higher margin, are especially brisk. The boutique's prime corner location provides excellent street visibility and tremendous foot traffic from the thousands of people strolling along the street to shop and dine at the many fine restaurants. The store operates from a gorgeous 1,450 square foot space, which features a 14 foot high ceiling, crystal chandeliers, and a spectacular 56 linear feet of window frontage. It features a fanciful, themed interior that garners constant compliments from impressed customers. The racks and fixtures are unique, antique looking--all custom built for the store.

The elderly owner is selling the boutique, the third one to be sold as part of his second retirement plans. Already retired as CPA, he was forced to take over the business in 2000 from his brother, who became disabled at that time. Now, he himself is downsizing his business affairs after a recent heart attack. The business has a much greater profit potential if energized by a younger, more passionate owner-operator. Customers have been requesting an Internet sales capability, which the new owner is strongly advised to set up. Domain names included. Perfect time to buy as the economy continues to grow post recession. Lots of upside potential. Lease expires in 2016.
