Tailored For You! Legacy Alterations Business Available Now!
Business Description
This well-established tailoring and alterations business, located in a high-traffic area of Northeast Ohio, presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer seeking a small, service-driven retail operation with low overhead and loyal clientele. With over a decade of steady operation, the shop has become a go-to destination for expert tailoring, including custom alterations, garment repair, and personalized fitting for both men’s and women’s clothing.
The business is run from a modest (and updated) storefront with excellent visibility and consistent foot traffic, offering a welcoming, appointment-friendly environment. It has earned a reputation for quality craftsmanship and personalized service, with strong word-of-mouth referrals and a customer base that spans multiple generations. Many clients return regularly for everything from wedding attire adjustments to everyday hemming and tailoring needs.
This is a turnkey operation with minimal staffing requirements, ideal for a hands-on owner-operator with sewing or fashion experience. There is significant upside potential for a new owner to introduce modern marketing, online booking, or expanded services like bridal fittings, dry cleaning partnerships, or garment resale.

About the Business
- Facilities & Assets
- Founded over twenty years ago by a local craftsman, this business has stood the test of time. Beginning with nothing more than a passion for great service and skill, the current owner of this company has dedicated much of their life to making this the go to location for folks who aren't interested dealing with the larger chains. After decades of work, the owner is ready to pass the torch and help to create a smooth transition!
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The clothing alterations and tailoring industry is a steady, service-driven sector that thrives on local reputation, craftsmanship, and repeat clientele. In Mayfield Heights and the surrounding Cleveland suburbs, demand for professional garment alterations remains consistent due to the area's diverse population, special event activity (weddings, graduations, proms), and a growing appreciation for sustainable fashion through wardrobe tailoring.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Growth opportunities include expanding formalwear services, adding leather and outerwear repairs, offering custom made-to-measure pieces, partnering with dry cleaners or boutiques, and introducing online booking or repair-by-mail options. Workshops or sewing classes could provide an additional revenue stream.
A simple online presence showcasing before-and-after photos, reviews, and services could attract new customers and strengthen the shop’s visibility. With minimal investment and the right vision.
