• Erkrath (near Düsseldorf) – Strick & Stick, Margret Botta: After 45 years in the wool and handicrafts sector, I wish to retire from business and am looking for a successor who can envisage continuing my business with the same passion and dedication as I have shown.
  The business comprises the high-street shop, an adjoining creative café (no longer in operation since the pandemic and for health reasons) and a bilingual online shop supported by a stock management system – through which we have now shipped to 27 different countries and which accounts for a third of total turnover.
  The cleared stock (only current, restockable goods – approx. €30–50,000 depending on sales) is to be taken over, with the prospect of financial assistance from my main supplier. If we reach an agreement, you can expect a generous handover of shop/warehouse fittings, decorative materials, etc. Overview: www.strick-stick.de. If you are interested or require further information, please contact us by email at: botta.strick@t-online.de
• Hansestadt Attendorn: After almost 30 years in business, I am looking to retire due to my age. I am therefore seeking a successor for my Creativstudio-Attendorn, a business I have run with great care and which is well known far beyond the district boundaries. In addition to the wool department, which stocks wool and needles from Lana Grossa, my range also includes an extensive selection of fabrics and haberdashery. A craft section, along with art supplies, rounds off the range. The spacious, bright shop with a wide shop front is at ground level and situated in the heart of the Hanseatic City of Attendorn. The stockroom, with an adjoining classroom, is located in the basement and is accessible via a staircase and a lift. A large multi-storey car park and further parking spaces are located in the immediate vicinity. Last year, we were awarded the IHK ‘Favourite Local Shop 2025’ prize. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me: Creativstudio-attendorn@freenet.de. Yours, Anke Schulz
• Wächtersbach: Our wool shop has now become well established in the beautiful and up-and-coming old town of Wächtersbach. Our regular customers now come from all over the Kinzig Valley and neighbouring communities. The shop comprises an attractive sales area with large display windows, as well as storage space and rooms for courses/workshops, etc. The total size is approximately 100 m².
  For reasons of age and health, we would like to hand over our wool shop in the medium term and hope to find good owners who share our affinity for wool. Our customers will be grateful for this.
• Hattingen: Over the past 14 years, maschenprobe at Johannisstraße 13 in 45525 Hattingen has built up a loyal customer base. The shop, which is run with heart and passion, is looking for an equally committed successor. What could be better than turning your hobby into your profession? The approximately 60 m² shop with a wide shop window is located in the heart of Hattingen’s old town on the ground floor of a listed half-timbered house. Hattingen has a large catchment area (the cities of Bochum, Witten, Wuppertal and Essen are only a few minutes’ drive away) and the many small, owner-operated shops are ideal for shopping. If you are interested and would like further information, please write to us at: info@maschenprobe-hattingen.de.
