We wanted to share a little update following our earlier post sharing video footage of an individual who stole from our small business this week.
Within 15 minutes of posting the video, this individual called our store begging us to take it down and offering to pay for the stolen item.
But here’s the thing: The point of sharing this video was never just about recovering the cost of stolen merchandise. It’s about sending a much bigger message.
To those who think they can walk into a small business, take what doesn’t belong to them, and get away with it, we see you. We have cameras, we have vendors keeping track of their inventory, and we will take action. We will prosecute, and you will no longer be welcome in our store.
This is not a small matter to us. Every item in our store belongs to a small business owner who works hard to make a living. Every theft has an impact, and it’s not something we are going to brush off or accept.
As we head into the holiday season, please remember to support your local small businesses. Shop small, spread kindness, and don’t be like this guy who thinks it’s okay to take advantage of businesses that work so hard to provide something special for their communities.
It’s not easy work creating and maintaining a fun, unique place for our local community to shop, discover, and support over 70 small businesses. People who come in and steal don’t just hurt one business owner. They impact everyone involved.
Support small businesses. Don’t steal from them.
