Friends, we have some hard news that Groundswell will not be reopening after our fire. Financially, we just cannot make it work. We have loved being a part of your special and ordinary moments over the last 16 years. It has been an honor and a joy.
At the same time, we know this moment is about something much more important in our community. If you’re feeling a need for some extra care and connection, we are right there with you. So in that spirit, we have one final invitation: please stop by the shop tomorrow (Friday), any time between 8am and 11am. I will be at the front door with free vegan banana bread (while it lasts), and a hug if you’d like.
We’re also looking forward to supporting the next locally-owned small business to bring something new to this corner, and we are anticipating some exciting news on that in late spring. We will post information about it here once we have it so you can join us in giving them a warm Hamline-Midway welcome.
With much love and gratitude,
Megan (on behalf of Alisha, Tim, and Jason too)
