๐ONE YEAR OF OWNING OZONE OF THE NORTH!!!๐
Itโs honestly hard to believe that an entire year has already gone by since we took over Ozone of the North.
Approximately 20 years ago, Yogi opened this little shop in downtown Sault Ste. Marie and built something that became a familiar part of our community. A year ago, we were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to take over the business as Yogi planned to retire and we began a completely new chapter in our lives.
Owning and running our own business has been such an incredible experience for both of us. Over the past year, weโve put so much of ourselves into Ozone, from rearranging the shop more times than we can count, bringing in new ideas and products, and most importantly, getting to know so many of you.
This past year has definitely had its ups and downs. Small business ownership isnโt always easy, and weโve learned soooo much along the way. But when we look back at this first year, the good has outweighed the difficult moments by far. We met so many incredible people, made new friends, shared countless conversations and laughs, and got to know so many of our regular customers on a personal level. That has easily been one of the best parts of this entire experience. ๐
Every time you walk through our door, tell someone about Ozone, share one of our posts, come back to shop with us again, or simply stop in to say hi ๐ you are supporting our small business in a great way and allowing us to keep doing something that means so much to us.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported Ozone over the years, everyone who gave us a chance when ownership changed, and everyone who has continued to support us throughout our first year.
Thank you for welcoming us, encouraging us, supporting us, and making our first year one we will never forget!
