For Sale: The Spring Green General Store
Dear Friends,
I have been thinking about it long and hard with a mix of joy, and bittersweet emotions and I am letting you know that I am looking for a buyer for the Spring Green General Store. Someone who shares my passion and wants to carry on what I have built. I am looking for a buyer that holds the same beliefs and will honor the history and legacy of the general store. Please don’t see this as a negative- think of it as an opportunity to carry on in an even better way. Please know that I am fully committed to keeping the ball rolling until the torch can be passed. I feel I have been running the business in the best way ever, and I want to leave it when I am at the top of my game. Your trust and loyalty have inspired me to give my best.
What I will miss the most is my connection with all of you. So many lives have been touched by the magic between these four walls.
None of this would have been possible without you, and I will always carry these memories with me.
Thank you for your support, loyalty, and the incredible moments you’ve shared with me.
This business was never just about what we sold, it was about the connections we made.
If you, or anyone you know might be interested in this opportunity here is a link to the listing…
