It is with a heart full of gratitude that I reflect on the past 26 years. The journey of Rusty Bugs & Roosters has been an incredible one, filled with moments of joy, growth, and connection, all thanks to your unwavering support.
The outpouring of love and kindness we received during our closing this month was truly overwhelming and deeply moving. The stories shared, the expressions of gratitude—especially those who insisted on paying full price for merchandise as a gesture of appreciation—have left an indelible mark on my heart. These acts of generosity underscore the special community we've built together, a community that has consistently prioritized connection and affordability. The RBR Team, my amazing team, deserve a special mention. Their unwavering dedication and the love they poured into Rusty Bugs & Roosters made all the difference. Their support during this transition has been invaluable and touched me profoundly.
While the future remains unwritten, I cherish the memories and relationships forged over these past 26 years. Owning and operating a small business within such a supportive and caring community has been the greatest privilege. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being a part of our story. Your support has meant the world to us.
