Dear friends,
It breaks our hearts to say this, but after almost 3 years of fun, Thistle Creek Mercantile will (most likely) be closing its doors. I didn't think I'd ever be making this post. We love this quaint little shop we've created. We've come to love our customers and vendors like family, and we are so sad to know that closing our doors means that Enidites will have one less place to shop for locally made items, and our vendors will be losing a place to display and sell their creations. We will treasure our memories of you all, and we hope you feel the same way about us. It has brought us joy every time a locally made item has gone home with someone, and we'll never forget that feeling.
This decision was not an easy one. Mike and I have both been blessed with amazing job opportunities that we just can't turn down. And while my mom has been so gracious to pick up our slack around the store, she had dreams of retirement and volunteering that this transition has caused her to put on hold. She's the real MVP of TCM, and we owe her a boatload of gratitude (and an all expenses paid vacation) for every basket made, shelf stocked, and pep talk given.
Now that being said, if anyone out there has dreams of running a quirky little shop that one customer said reminded her of childhood shopping trips with her grandma, and another customer described as the closest thing NW OK has to the boutiques at Silver Dollar City, we would entertain conversations about handing over the keys.
We do not have a closing date set yet, but if we don't receive interest in the turn-key business fairly soon, we will start having sales on furniture and fixtures. Many of our vendors are already marking items down to sell quickly, so stop by and take advantage of some great sales.
And to our regulars - we love you! Please make a plan to stop in soon and hug our necks, and ignore me while I ugly cry into your shoulder. It has been a blessing and an honor to serve you all.
Love, Mike & Sara
