Dear La Selva Shop Community,
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
La Selva Shop was built with love for the Back of the Yards community, and none of this would have been possible without your support. Every visit, every purchase, every conversation, and every word of encouragement meant more than you know.
I also want to extend my sincere thanks to United Yards and Back of the Yards Works for the opportunity to be part of the development and for believing in local businesses like mine. Opening a brick-and-mortar storefront was a learning experience—one I’m truly grateful for. While it didn’t work out for us at this time, I’m thankful I gave it a shot and for everything it taught me along the way.
Although our physical storefront has closed, La Selva Shop is not going anywhere. Our merchandise will continue to be available online, and for a limited time you’ll also be able to find select items at Back of the Yards Coffee and other local businesses in the community. Supporting local will always be at the heart of what we do.
Thank you for believing in this brand, for repping Back of the Yards with pride, and for standing by us through every chapter. This journey has been shaped by community, and that will always remain our foundation.
With gratitude and respect,
Rolando Santoyo
Founder, La Selva Shop
