7th Street Salvage Downtown

An important announcement

This is one of the hardest things we have had to write as a business. We have decided to restructure our company and close our gift store on 2nd Street.

About a year ago, we sat down and evaluated our business. Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined we would be so successful. We found it brought additional challenges and responsibilities however. The business began dictating our life. We were burning the candle at both ends and it was pulling us away from our children and our families.

A company restructuring was necessary. We had to decide to either go bigger, with more employees and service lines to keep up with demand, or scale back to our core and focus on where we started. We battled with that decision for months.

Then about 9 months ago, we were approached by someone interested in purchasing our gift store and felt this was a great opportunity to continue that location. Both parties tried to make it work, but after many months, it wasn’t meant to be.

During this time, we also found out that a family member had a recurrence of Cancer. With the appointments, treatments, and surgery, it became necessary for us to step away and spend more time caring for them. This news, although difficult, affirmed that we were making the right choice for us...that family comes first.

Our customers have been, and continue to be, the reason we do all of this. We will continue to strive to provide one of the best architectural salvage businesses, custom woodworking businesses, and candle businesses out there. Those service lines aren’t going anywhere. We are getting
back to our roots and we are excited to have balance in our work and family life again. We know that this news will be disappointing, but we hope you will understand and continue to support us as we move forward.

So, what’s our plan? The gift store will be closed until Thursday, 5/18. At which time, we will open Thursday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm. We will begin liquidating our inventory when we reopen on 5/18. We will place inventory on sale (except candles) during this process and that Thursday-Saturday schedule will be repeated each week until we liquidated all stock. We may liquidate some displays and fixtures, but most will be retained. This is your time to load up on your favorite 7th Street and Vendor items.

Note, not all vendors will be placing their items on sale. Also, this change does not affect the warehouse’s hours.

If you are looking for, or know someone who is looking for, a really awesome building to rent in one of the coolest downtowns out there, please reach out to us! Just to reiterate, our architectural salvage warehouse, custom build workshop, and our candles are not going anywhere. Head to our stories today to hear more about this restructuring.

Thank you all for your support.
