ReRun Rags is not closing but we will be shutting the doors of our downtown location and moving solely online with Facebook and our website www.rerunrags.com. Our last day open will be on Saturday, July 24th, 2021. We will announce any store closing sales we may have next week. All consignments have expired and we have pulled nearly all unsold items and have them prepped and ready for pick-up along with consignment payout checks. I believe it's about 40 consignors who still need to retrieve items/funds. Our time is still limited, so please send us a message or give us a call ahead of time so that we can have your check prepared. Any items not picked up by Saturday, July 24th, 2021 will be donated to Open Door or another charity if they are not accepting donations at that time.
As many of you know, Makenna is leaving for college in August and we have not yet grown to a point of being able to hire help or even pay ourselves. Nor do we anticipate this to be the case, even if we were to drop a ton of money into advertising. The return just isn't there for this industry. The market has not been as good to us as it once was for me when I had a shop in another life several years ago in another city. We have spent countless hours trying to figure out a feasible solution to keep our brick and mortar open, but regrettably, we were unsuccessful. The costs to maintain a retail store are very high and the market here has demanded our prices stay too low.
Anyway, we are so fortunate to have met so many wonderful people along our journey and we wouldn't change any of our experiences. Spending time as mother/daughter co-owners is a priceless experience.
This is NOT goodbye but we do want to say thank you to all of the consignors and shoppers who did their best to support us.
