We just want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support today!❤️
You guys are the reason we keep going 7 days a week.
Every day is a struggle for a small business owner, the business comes first no matter what.

3 weeks ago Edgar was diagnosed with terminal cancer and we don’t know if we have until Christmas with him.

on Friday Emma was having breathing problems so we had to go to emergency. She ended up with pneumonia really bad and has to be bed rested for three weeks. She is starting to perk up and will be OK.❤️

We will be OK but this shit is fucking hard. 🥹

That being said, we are going to run our sale for another day and while you’re at it, maybe check out a couple of other small businesses too because we are all struggling here in Port Alberni❤️

People often ask us how we are doing at the new location? The answer is good, but I’ll tell you a short story.

I am unable to work a normal job for obvious reasons so we started this business in our garage during the pandemic. It went really well for a couple years until we were forced to move due to a complaint because we don’t have city water to mop the floor.

in November 20 22, we moved to River Road full of excitement and simply failed for 2 years due to a number of reasons.
Hoping it would get better we hung on and waited, changed tactics and tried everything we can think of while accumulating a massive pile of debt. Failed.

last year our lease was up so we made a two day decision to move into the middle of nowhere without a plan. We took loans from friends and family plus a couple more credit cards and went all in.
Everything was on the line including our house at that point.
During the last year, there has been some ups and downs, but loans are getting paid down and the business is growing into what we imagined it could be!

With Christmas coming and deadlines to meet, we’ve put everything we have into getting the store filled with a guaranteed return in December but both of our dogs got sick last week to the tune of $10,000 and still not in the clear.

This Mon/Tues we are offering 15% off everything in store to kick off the holiday season, to save you some money, to help my dogs and keep this dream alive for many more years.

thanks for listening and don’t worry we are finally at home and here to stay in our current location.

Stay Salty ❤️
