New owners breathe new life into family sewing business

In a recent government meeting, local business owners Chris and Sheryl, along with their young partner Elijah, were recognized for their successful acquisition of a long-standing vacuum and sewing machine business in Las Vegas. The business, originally founded by Mike in 1986, has been a staple in the community, operating for over three decades with three locations at its peak.

Mike, who has served as a mentor and consultant to the new owners, shared his journey of transitioning the business to Chris and Sheryl. He highlighted their strong background, particularly Chris's expertise as a master technician specializing in sewing machines and vacuums, which he honed while working in California. The partnership was solidified after Mike connected with Chris through his brother, who runs a similar business in Costa Mesa, California.

The meeting also showcased the community's appreciation for the new owners, who are committed to maintaining the high-quality service that the business is known for. Elijah, the youngest member of the team, demonstrated his skills by discussing his ability to work on various machines, including vintage models.

The event underscored the importance of local businesses in fostering community ties and preserving traditional crafts, such as quilting, which remains vibrant in the area. The new ownership marks a promising chapter for the business, ensuring its legacy continues in the Las Vegas Valley.
