I am younger then Tom, and not completely ready to retire, I could work for the new owners part-time as an off-site/remote graphic artist * (in addition to the shop having a full-time onsite layout person/file jockey, that I would be happy to help hire and train in) and I could also work as a consultant for them (for file jockeying, Mac computer IT person, engineering jobs, quoting, etc.). Our staff has expressed to us that they would really like to stay with The Print Shop and work for the new owners. How long that will last will depend on the set of skills and aptitudes these new owners would have (we would estimate a minimum of 3 months even for someone that is experienced in our field).Īfter the initial training time, Tom will be available for the new owners to hire as a consultant (engineering jobs, quoting, etc.). There will be a certain overlap/training time with the new owner's. Once the shop sells we will do everything we can to ensure there is no downtime and that your deadlines will be met during the transition.

And we will be here at the ready until new owners are fully trained in - so please rest assured. ![]()
