End of a chapter.
It’s hard to believe, but this moment has come
We are saying goodbye to Rich Rags.
As much as we are thrilled about our new location, it’s still a very bittersweet moment.
Almost 20 years ago Julia and Robbie (RIP) were just as excited as me and Peter about a new business, a new community and new opportunities.
So I’m not gonna lie - giving up a part of a family history sometimes feels heavy and scary.
But with all our hearts we feel that we are doing the right thing.
What also makes it hard - we are going to terribly miss some of our regulars. I know it’s not going to be the same, and some of you we won’t see as often as we used to, and it breaks our hearts.
We are going to miss our neighbours, especially .on.yates girls.
And our fur friends stopping by for treats on their regular walks
(Ollie, Frida, Zaya, Hunter, P**a, Beatrice and many, many more) 💔
We are so grateful for all the support and trust you’ve shown us here.
We even met some of our best friends through this store - and I truly mean everything I’m saying here ❤️
And unfortunately, I feel like this needs to be mentioned: as much as we wanted to breathe new life into this space and continue doing what we love, this area has a lot of issues, and small business owners are still not protected or supported enough by the city itself. This was a big factor in our decision to change locations.
But let’s finish this on a good note.
We are not out of business, we are not closing, we are preparing something new and exciting for you.
See you soon at 550 Yates
Stay tuned
