More Tales From The Employee Group

(Nobody get any ideas. His wife will fight you.)

07/18/2026

We had an employee group where we discussed products, how the day was going, but mostly customers.

Fun fact: the day we got Dee-8 (have to be creative here) samples in, we thought they would be the same as a C*D cart. We discovered they were not and were *violently high* that day.

We promised to share some of the weird stuff after we closed, so the best response we ever got on a job application. Circa 2017?

Alexa, “Play ‘Closing Time’”

Years ago when we first opened, it was hard to get folks to leave and we’d play ‘Closing Time’ to hurry them along. “You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here” became the battle cry of the evening shift worker.

It was hard for us to leave tonight. We stayed well past closing time- a small group of current and former employees, a dedicated customer or two and we locked up for the last time. “Time for you to go out to the places you will be from.”

We will miss you all so much and hope you know that each of you changed our lives. You’ve helped us create community with a group of unlikely people in an unlikely space. Please continue to find spaces and make community. It’s so important and necessary- now more than ever.

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”

Thank you. It just doesn’t seem like enough to encapsulate what we are all left with after last night. To each and every person that came, we love yall and are so grateful to know you. Everyone took pictures and videos which we’ll post in the coming days. Dont forget! We’re still open until the 30th so come buy our stuff!

We would also like to give a super special thank you to Sugar Magnolia's Café & Catering for the amazing cake they made for our funeral. We appreciate you so much. Maybe now we’ll have time to come by for lunch. 🫶🏻

Tomorrow night! We’re so excited to see everyone. Make sure to wear black!

After years of familiar faces, sass, gossip, random conversations, and having the honor of introducing va**ng to eastern Kentucky…it is time to lay Kickin’ Ash to rest.

Join us for a lighthearted farewell as we celebrate the good times, the wild stories, and one stubborn little shop that gave it hell until the very end!

Come laugh, reminisce, and say your final goodbyes with us. Dress is black casual please!

For absolutely no reason at all, we're bumping up our Going Out Of Business sale to 42% off today. 👀

Stop in and get it while the gettin's good folks.

04/13/2026

At this point, it’s less of a sale and more of a “we don't want to move this” situation. Don’t wait until it’s picked over and you’re mad about it.

Clocks ticking, folks! Come see us while you can. 🫶 We have plenty of heavily discounted liquid along with 20% off everything else in-store.
