Good evening minions! For those of you who are not subscribed to our newsletter, here's a copy of the e-mail that was sent yesterday:
Good morning minions,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but sadly after a year and almost 5 months, Bionic V***r will be coming to an end. Most of you probably have noticed a lack of presence and activity the past months. As always, I'll be open about why Bionic V***r will be permanently closed.
As it always happens in life, you never know what tomorrow has in store for you. You can have a perfectly, "fool-proof" plan be thrown completely out of the loop. In my case, I thought Bionic V***r would last for 3+ years as far as I could take it. However, the past 4 months I had a visit from my partner, who lives in New Zealand. She is now back in New Zealand, and thus we must decide what we'll want to do with our lives. Originally, the trip to NZ was scheduled to be 3 weeks. However, that is no longer the case. I'll be travelling to New Zealand for 1 year, and instead of being a tourist, we'll be working alongside everyone else trying to find a place of our own. Does this mean I'm moving permanently to New Zealand? No, however the possibility remains that I may decide to settle down over there. A lot has happened the past 4 months, and due to this trip I'll be unable to keep Bionic V***r alive.
You have all enabled me to create something I did not believe I could create, you've encouraged me to move forward, you've shown me your support and love and commitment. It's been an amazing journey that I wish did not have to come to an end. For that I am eternally thankful to each one of you who chose to support Bionic V***r.
So what does this mean for the store? Am I closing it already or tomorrow or this week? Not quite. I'll be able to run Bionic V***r for around 1-2 months more given the nature of how long paperwork and immigration offices take. It may be longer, it certainly won't be shorter. During said time, I'll update all the prices to their 35% discounted values. Why 35%? 35% off the current prices is just the sweet spot that allows me to make a little bit of profit as opposed to just breaking even or losing money. I believe it'll be enough time for those who want to order in bulks for their favorite(s) flavor(s).
What about after though? I'd hate taking away a flavor that may have become your ADV, so while I don't know what I'll be doing upon closure, I can guarantee you that one way or another you will still have ways to obtain your ADV even after you run out.
Bionic V***r will be open to selling its name, stock and/or recipes. If you are interested in buying, please contact us at [email protected] for further details and options as well as how you'd intend to continue Bionic V***r (e.x. becoming a supplier on the ECF boards and sell exclusively per demand, continuing Bionic V***r as is, etc.)
Thank you so much for being part of Bionic V***r's family, and hey, we still got 1-2 months left. Have an excellent weekend!
