As I continue to grow, with my 3 little ones in tow, I have decided it’s time to say goodbye to my beautiful little shop that brought me a lot of purpose, joy + connection. NINE has served as an outlet for my entrepreneurial spirit, my passion for people, my love for fashion and has been the most incredible life experience.
I never knew what it took to run a small business, but I took a chance and will forever be grateful for my journey of entrepreneurship. I took risks, made mistakes, had countless incredible interactions and met the most amazing people. Whether we were sharing daily mom struggles, hiding our love of shopping from our husbands (iykyk!), sharing that you were newly pregnant and needed something to wear, or recently experienced loss… I will forever be grateful for those conversations.
Without hesitation, I can say what I’ll miss the most, what fulfilled me the most and what brought me the greatest joy was all of you. It wasn’t just about the clothing or about the sales - it was you. My hope was always to create a space you felt welcome in, and clothing that you felt good in. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting me. Seven years later, it turned into something I never could have imagined.
But I have exciting news! Although I may not be at the fore front (doing weekly try-ons!) our doors will remain open under NEW ownership - by a fellow customer and exceptional human, Kaitlyn! She will soon be the proud owner of NINE and Ro&Ry and will be amalgamating both stores into one - carrying both kids + women under the same umbrella. Our store will remain as is in the SAME space, with just ONE website (roandry.com) and with extended hours! I am beyond excited to see what Kaitlyn will do next!
Let’s cheers to new beginnings and welcome Kaitlyn with open arms. I have no doubt that she will continue right where I left off, offering exceptional customer service and amazing brands (with new ones coming), effective July 1st!
With love,
Teal
