🇵🇪❤️ A DECISION WE NEVER WOULD HAVE WANTED TO MAKE
Today, we want to share with you part of the story behind our decision to close our Old Sacramento location.
For approximately 18 months, we faced serious problems with the air conditioning. Despite communicating the situation repeatedly and receiving promises that it would be resolved, the problem was never fixed.
The extreme heat often forced us to reduce our hours and close in the afternoons, affecting our employees, customers, sales, and, of course, our finances.
And all of this happened at a time when the economy has been especially difficult for small businesses. For an entrepreneur or a business that is still growing, every hour of operation, every customer, and every sale counts. We do not have the same resources as a large company to absorb months of losses or keep a business operating normally when there are problems that directly affect its operations.
As an entrepreneur and someone who loves my work and my culture, I have always tried to turn challenges into opportunities. Looking for new alternatives to strengthen our business, I accepted the opportunity to open a second store in Carmichael.
❤️ And that is how Mi Tiendita Munaycha – Carmichael was born.
This new location is already partially operating, and we hope, with the support of our community, to be able to open all week very soon.
However, the situation in Old Sacramento did not improve. On the contrary, during the hottest days, temperatures reached the triple digits, forcing us to close in the afternoons and on the slower days.
After 18 months of waiting for a solution, we reached the point where continuing under those conditions was no longer sustainable.
A small business cannot survive on promises alone.
We believe that small businesses need more support, understanding, and consideration. Behind every small shop are people, families, dreams, sacrifices, and an incredible amount of hard work. ❤️
That is why we made the difficult decision to close Old Sacramento and begin a new chapter in Carmichael.
We are not sharing this to create conflict or to attack anyone. We are sharing it because you have been part of our story, and you deserve to know why we are leaving.
❤️ THANK YOU to every person who visited us, supported us, purchased our products, recommended us, and believed in our dream.
🇵🇪❤️ MI TIENDITA MUNAYCHA DOES NOT END HERE.
WE ARE MOVING, NOT GIVING UP.
✨ WE ARE NOW IN CARMICHAEL! ✨

A new place, a new beginning, but the same love for Peru and for our community. 🇵🇪❤️
We hope to continue having your support!
