Dear Customers, Consignors and Community,
Over the last 11 1/2 years, it has brought me great joy to operate Just Like New in our small town. Starting the store was a way for me to connect with my community by providing a place where families could find quality children's items at an affordable price, while offering an easy way to recycle everything our children want and need during their childhood. During Covid, I watched our community come together and take care of each other through the community food pantry that we were able to operate, helping many families fill the most basic of needs with food and baby supplies. Over the years I have seen your children grow as parents became regular customers and brought them in to update their children's wardrobe or find new toys to keep them busy during the summer breaks. There are so many amazing things that have come from this store and I hope that those memories are carried on by many of you. With that being said, it is with deep sadness that we are announcing the closing of Just Like New. Unfortunately, the state of our economy and the increase in rent prices will no longer allow the proper operation of the store. While we have tried many avenues to find a solution to help us remain open, we unfortunately don't have any option but to close.
The store will be closed after Saturday, June 29th. Beginning Tuesday, June 18th, most store inventory will be marked down to 50% off, some inventory will be priced as marked in red on the tag. The following week we will slash prices to 75% off. Store displays and supplies will also be for sale. Shop early for the best selection. If you are a consignor, please come into the store to close your consignment accounts and collect any money that is attached to them. You may still use your account balance to purchase items through June 29th, but all accounts must be reconciled by then. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or come down to the store. I look forward to seeing you.
Finally, I would like to thank the community for your support over the last 11 1/2 years. It has been a beautiful, crazy ride and I am grateful for everyone who has had even a small part in our success, employees, customers and consignors alike. I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you again and I look forward to seeing as many of you as I can in the next two weeks.
Deanna
