Well, look what YOU did. 🧡🍂

**2,500 FOLLOWERS!**

When we started the Merc, we hoped people would find us. What we didn’t expect was how quickly so many of you would become part of what we’re building.

You’ve followed. You’ve shared. You’ve told your friends. You’ve walked through our doors—and then come back again. And every bit of it has mattered more than you probably realize.

So hitting **2,500 followers** feels like the perfect excuse to celebrate together. And wouldn't you know it… we already have something planned. 😉

🍁 **FALL PREVIEW — THIS SATURDAY!** 🍁
**10 AM–7 PM**

Come see what’s new for fall, wander through the Merc, discover a few things you didn’t know you needed, and help us celebrate this pretty darn wonderful little community we’re creating together.

**2,500 of you.**
That just blows us away.

Thank you for finding us. 🧡

**Come wander. Stay awhile.**

🍂 **YOU WERE THERE AT THE BEGINNING… NOW COME SEE WHAT’S NEW.** 🍂

It’s hard to believe our Grand Opening was already a month ago. So many of you came through our doors, wandered the Merc, celebrated with us, and helped make that day something we’ll never forget.

Well… **we’ve been busy since you were here.** 😉

This Saturday, we’re having our **FALL PREVIEW**, and the Merc has changed quite a bit!

🍁 Our **Fall Entry Table** is dressed for the season
🛏️ The brand-new **Linen Room** is open, filled with bedding, towels, pillows & more
☕ **Skinny Syrups** have arrived — and you all are LOVING them
🍎 **Sugar Grove** is here with salsas, jams, pie fillings, dip mixes & pantry goodness
🍂 Handmade **fall-themed tassels** are tucked throughout the shop
🐾 We now have **dog & cat treats** for the four-legged shoppers in your life
🛍️ And there’s plenty more we haven’t told you about yet…

Because apparently, **the Merc cannot sit still.** And honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

If you haven’t been back since our Grand Opening, this Saturday is the perfect excuse.

And if you *have* been back? Come again. We’ve probably changed something since then. 😂

🍂 **FALL PREVIEW — THIS SATURDAY**
📍 the Merc | Mercantile Collective
5655 Coventry Lane, Fort Wayne
Open 10–7

**Come wander. Stay awhile. See what’s new.** 🤎

We’re closing in on **2,500 followers.** 💛

Since the Merc is closed today, we thought we’d take a minute to tell you just how much that means to us.

The truth is, this little place started out of a need to **survive**.

When circumstances changed, we had to figure out what came next. We took a chance, opened the doors, and hoped people would find us.

And somehow, it has become something much more.

Every day, you walk through our doors. You tell your friends about us. You share our posts. You bring someone back with you. And one of the things that still amazes us most? **We already have repeat customers.** People who have made the Merc *their* place to wander.

That means more than we can probably put into words.

We’re still figuring things out. Still adding. Still changing. Still finding new things we think you’ll love. And we have a feeling the Merc will always be that way.

So as we inch closer to **2,500 of you**, thank you. Truly.

What started because we needed to find a way forward has turned into a little community we never saw coming.

And we’re awfully glad you found us. 💛

**Things are always changing at the Merc.**

Come wander. Stay awhile.

YAY! If we had a dollar for every customer who asked if we carried Tyler Candle Company, LLC Official Glamorous Wash and Candles. Your wait is almost over!

We may have just placed an order we’re *very* excited about. 😍

**Tyler Candle Company is coming to Home Mercantile at the Merc!**

We’ll also be bringing in Tyler Candles and some of those incredible fragrances that have earned this line such a loyal following.

Basically, your house can smell amazing.
Your laundry can smell amazing.
Your sheets can smell amazing.
And suddenly doing laundry feels just a tiny bit less offensive. 😂

Our order has officially been placed, and we’ll let you know the minute it lands.
