I’ve gone back and forth on posting this, but I feel like it’s time to be honest with my community.
There was a time when the store had issues with things like bedbugs and termites. That’s not easy to admit, and it’s even harder knowing I didn’t speak up about it when I should have.
The truth is, during that time, I was in a very controlled and toxic marriage. I was not allowed to go anywhere alone, and speaking up about anything—even if it was the right thing to do—would have made my life extremely difficult. I stayed quiet out of fear, not because I didn’t care.
That’s something I’ve carried with me, because I am not the kind of person who ever wants to hurt others or put anyone in a bad situation. I’ve always cared deeply about people, our customers, and this community.
The store is no longer open, and I am not making this post to tear anyone down or cause harm. That is not my intention at all. I’m simply trying to make things right in the only way I can now—by being honest.
To anyone who may have been affected, I am truly and sincerely sorry.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for allowing me the space to speak my truth. ❤️
