💔 Okay, Classy & Sassy family... we need to have an honest conversation.
This is one of the hardest posts I've ever had to write.
After fighting to keep our doors open for the past three years, I'm at a point where I have to make a very difficult decision... Do we keep the store open, or is it time to close?
So many people tell us:
💕 "Your store is so cute!"
💕 "I love your clothes!"
💕 "I need to come back when I have more time!"
Or they stop in because something they ordered online didn't arrive in time and say, "You're my last-minute place to shop."
Please know... we truly appreciate every single person who walks through our doors.
But here's the honest truth...
We don't want to be your last-minute option. We want to be your first choice.
What many people don't see is what it actually costs to keep a small business running. Rent, utilities, payroll, insurance, inventory, supplies, marketing, credit card fees... the list goes on. Those expenses don't stop, even on the days when very few people walk through the door.
I've poured my heart and soul into Classy & Sassy Boutique. This isn't just a business to me—it's been my passion, my dream, and a huge part of my life. I want nothing more than to continue serving this community, but I honestly don't know how much longer we can keep doing it if things don't change.
Foot traffic has become almost nonexistent.
To those of you who continue to support us—THANK YOU. You have no idea how much your loyalty means to us. ❤️
Today, I'm asking our community for help.
Before you click "Add to Cart" on a big-box website, please think about shopping local first. Every purchase, every share, every recommendation, every comment, and every visit truly makes a difference.
Because once small businesses are gone... they're incredibly hard to bring back.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for believing in us. And thank you for helping keep small businesses like ours alive.
❤️ Love,
Tanya
