We love Amanda and The Barketplace Tinley Park! If you can, please help them out and show your support!
Happy Monday, friends. I was incredibly lucky to be able to step away for the weekend and clear my mind, so thank you so much to Molly and Emily for being here to run the show while I took a much needed break. Now that I've sorted some stuff for me, it's time to be honest. This is getting harder every day. People aren't out shopping the way they were, we've taken some hard hits, and costs keep rising. We still haven't bounced back from our hit from the block party. Every hit we take puts us further and further behind. I don't know how much more we can keep digging ourselves back from. I think this is our last leg.
I love my place in this community. The relationships I've built, the partnerships I've formed, the friend I've made. I hold the charities, rescues, and organizations we've donated to our helped support in one way or another so close to my heart. The Barketplace has been my dream for as long as I can remember. I'm fighting tooth and nail to hold on, I just want to be honest, my grip is slipping.
We need support. We know our shelves aren't full the way we would like. We're frustrated too. We're doing our best. If you help us catch up we'll get them full again. We hope to remain your dogs favorite store.
