Dear friends,
We hope this message finds you well. While our plan had been to reopen on June 20, we are truly sorry but we once again have to change our plan. We will need to remain closed until further notice.
This is of course due to our concerns over the COVID-19 virus, and our belief that remaining closed is what is best for the safety of our employees and our customers.
In addition, however, Michelle has continued to experience some health issues, of which some of you may be aware, comprised primarily of difficulty with walking. While we thought at first it was likely Lyme, the tickborne disease, we have more recently been investigating other possible explanations as well. She has been to several doctors, from Portland to Boston, but we are still seeking an official diagnosis.
Needless to say, this has not made matters any easier. We apologize for the numerous times that we have had to announce, frequently with little notice, our decision to further postpone the reopening of the store. These decisions are never easy or taken lightly, and are made with full understanding that they will be met with both acceptance and frustration on the part of our customers. That said, future communications with you will be provided with as much notice as possible.
We hope this message finds you healthy and well. Please stay safe, and thank you once again for being such great customers and friends.
- Rick (Michelle's son) and Michelle Knight
