We love this beautiful little gift shop- Sunshine Number 1, just up the road in Mount Florida πΈ
In January 2024 I posted this & it applies today too.
"Here's me in the shop putting a brave face on January - today was horribly quiet, probably due to the heavy rain on top of it being January."
Taking staff costs into account we made a loss today. It's a tough call - be open, available and reliable or close for extra days.
Sadly, over the last week I've read on social media of 4 independent gift shops closing down. It's a challenging time for all small businesses but it feels very close to home when they're gift shops.
If you could share this post or our profile it would be really helpful to lead new folks to find us in person & online and to pop us into existing customer's minds!
Thank you so much - every like, comment and share is HUGELY appreciated.
