Nurre Caxton

Nurre Caxton has been part of Sunrise’s small business landscape for a long time. Directory listings tracking the company’s tenure put it at roughly forty nine years in business, which would place its origins back in the 1970s, making it one of the older continuously operating businesses of any kind in a city that was itself only incorporated in 1961. The company’s listed specialty is picture framing, with a particular emphasis on wholesale work and manufacturing, meaning it has likely spent much of its history supplying frames to other framers, retailers, and art businesses around South Florida rather than operating purely as a walk in retail counter.

That wholesale and manufacturing angle is worth pausing on, because it sets Nurre Caxton apart from the custom framing shops most people picture when they think of the category, the small storefronts where a customer brings in a print or a diploma and picks a mat and molding off the wall. A wholesale framing manufacturer instead builds part of the supply chain that keeps those retail shops stocked, cutting moulding, assembling frames, and fulfilling orders at a scale a single location custom shop could never match on its own. For a city like Sunrise, which sits within easy trucking distance of framers and galleries throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties, having a manufacturer based locally rather than shipping product in from out of state is a meaningful piece of the regional trade even if most residents never interact with the business directly.

The company is located on NW 103rd Avenue in a section of northern Sunrise dominated by light industrial and commercial space rather than the retail plazas that line the city’s major boulevards, which fits the profile of a manufacturing operation that does not depend on drive by traffic to find customers. Florida’s corporate database currently lists the associated corporate entity as inactive, which can mean any number of things for a business this age, from a simple administrative lapse in required annual filings to an ownership transition that moved operations under a different legal structure. It does not necessarily mean the business itself has closed, and directory listings continue to show the same phone number and address associated with ongoing operations, but it is a detail worth flagging for anyone trying to verify the company’s current standing before doing business with it.

Given the limits of what could be independently confirmed this session, anyone looking to place an order or verify current hours should call the listed number directly rather than relying solely on the business’s directory presence, since no functioning company website could be located during this research and hours of operation were not published anywhere checked. A business with a nearly half century track record in a single South Florida industry is worth a phone call before writing it off, especially when every available directory source still lists it as reachable at the same Sunrise address.
