It’s time to say goodbye.
After months of reflection and discussion, I’ve made the bittersweet decision to close Sweet Rebel Boutique.
Small business ownership is something I had dreamt of most of my life. I’ve always had a creative side of myself that I couldn’t fully express in my “day job” as a nurse practitioner. I yearned to do something lighter, something that gave me freedom and flexibility, and honestly, something that was just plain fun. Sweet Rebel gave me that. To say I have loved this journey the past five years would be a great understatement. This will forever be some of the absolute best years of my life!
Any small business owner that has come to this difficult decision can attest that it comes with a range of emotions. As I have navigated these feelings, I have finally settled on one. Pride. I’m proud of what I put forth here. I’m proud of all the hours worked never seen by most, the adorable clothes and accessories I chose, the fun boutique with its floral wallpaper (a real conversation piece), all the community events we got to be a part of, and even the cringeworthy social media posts (just ask my two teenage daughters).
THANK YOU to every person who ever supported Sweet Rebel Boutique. I’m beyond grateful for every purchase, share, comment, and kind word over the years. Having someone come in and tell me they love my store means more than I can ever express. My goal was always to bring adorable, affordable, good quality products to the town I’ve grown to call my own. And I can confidently say, I feel like I accomplished that goal.
Our doors will be closing for good in late July, with a set date to be announced later this Summer. As we prepare to close, I hope you’ll shop with us one last time and help us celebrate everything Sweet Rebel Boutique has been.
Starting June 1, the entire store will be 30% off with additional racks of 50% off items, plus $5 and $10 items. All sales will be final.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.
With love and gratitude,
Kellie
