We want to take a moment to talk about something that unfortunately affects small businesses more than many people realize: shoplifting.
As a small, family-owned business, every item in our store represents an investment. We work hard to carefully select merchandise, keep our shelves stocked, support our employees, and provide a place where our customers can shop and find special things they love.
When merchandise is stolen, it's not just an item walking out the door. It's money that comes directly out of a small business's pocket. Those losses add up and can make it harder for us to bring in new products, keep prices reasonable, and continue doing what we love.
We understand that everyone has struggles, and we're not here to judge anyone. We simply ask that you remember there are real people and families behind small businesses. Every purchase, every kind word, and every bit of support truly makes a difference.
If you love shopping small and want to see local businesses continue to thrive, please help us spread kindness and respect for the businesses in our community.
We love what we do, we love our customers, and we're grateful for every single person who chooses to shop with us. Thank you for supporting Colony 13 and helping us keep doing what we've been doing for 50 years! ❤️
