To my wonderful Rusted Poppy family,
I wanted to take a moment to share a little life update with you all. As many of you know, The Rusted Poppy is truly my heart and my baby, and I am so grateful for each and every one of you who continues to support it.🧡
Lately (more than normal), my shop hours have been a bit all over the place, and I appreciate your patience more than you know! The reason behind that is something very special—my boyfriend and I have been working hard on an exciting new adventure together. After nearly 10 years of dedication, Mike is officially taking over ownership of the auto shop!! We are in the process of transitioning the business from what has been known as Matt’s Caddy Shack for almost 30 years into its new chapter as Mike’s Caddy Shack!!!! Good job babe!!
I couldn’t be more proud of him and all the hard work, passion, and commitment he’s poured into making this dream a reality. It’s a big step for both of us, and we’re so excited (and a little busy!) as we get everything up and running.
With that being said, The Rusted Poppy is still very much here and still very much my passion. However, during this transition, my shop will temporarily be open Thursday through Saturday 10am-5pm (with flower & kiddo pick up in between) while we get Mike settled and comfortable in the new role at the shop.
I kindly ask for your understanding and a little grace during this time as we balance both businesses and this new adventure together. Your support truly means the world to us both.
If you ever have questions, need anything, or just want to say hi, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me personally. And of course, if you or someone you know is in need of any automotive help, we would love for you to give us a shout at Mike’s Caddy Shack!!!
Thank you for being such an amazing community.
I appreciate you all so dang much!
Lots of love,
Joleen
The Rusted Poppy Shop
