Owning a small business—especially a retail store—isn’t always easy or glamorous. But this week reminded me exactly why we do what we do.
Over the years, our little shop has become more than just a place to find PNW gear—it’s become a community. So many of you who first walked in as customers have now become true friends. And yes… part of that might be because I (Tesha) tend to hold people hostage at the counter, keeping you way too long in conversation until you eventually cave and become my friend. 😉
This week especially, we felt the love. From swapping stories about travels, new jobs, family, house construction and even favorite hot springs—you reminded us that what we’ve built together is so much more than a store.
Thank you for showing up, for sharing your lives with us, and for letting us share ours with you.
