After months of praying, crying, overthinking, and going back and forth, I’ve finally made one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make as a business owner. Currently crying as I post this 😭
Lewis Lane Boutique will be closing its storefront ONLY- online and app will continue we are growing an following the path.
The last few years have been incredibly hard on small businesses. I’ve watched fellow business owners struggle, scale back, and even close their doors. Between rising costs, inflation, and families having to stretch their budgets further than ever before, it’s been hard. The way people shop has changed — and I completely understand it because we’re all feeling it.
If I’m being completely honest, this decision has weighed heavily on me for months. I’ve cried over it more times than I can count trying to figure out how to make everything work. My heart hurts even typing these words because this storefront has been such a huge part of my journey.
This little storefront was never just a building to me. It was a dream built on faith, hard work, sacrifice, and a whole lot of hope. Within these walls I’ve celebrated some of my biggest wins, cried through some of my hardest days, watched customers become friends, and built a community that means more to me than you’ll ever know.
That’s why this decision hurts so much.
While the last few years have been challenging, we’ve been working incredibly hard to grow the online side of Lewis Lane and keep this dream moving forward.
And thankfully, that hard work is working right now . I need to follow that growth to keep Lewis Lane moving forward.
The reality is that trying to juggle both a storefront and a growing online business has left me feeling like I’m constantly drowning.
Right now, we simply don’t have the space to keep up with our online growth. Our small warehouse can no longer handle the inventory, shipping, and daily operations, I’m having to double work in 3 places to keep it all going
What most people don’t see is everything that happens behind the scenes. The buying, inventory, shipments, photography, content creation, customer service, advertising, and everything else that comes with running a business. It truly never stops.
Most weeks, I work 7 days a week trying to keep both running
And if I’m being completely honest, one of the biggest reasons behind this decision is that I want to be a better mom.
My boys are growing up way too fast, and I don’t want to look back one day wishing I had been more present. I want my boys to see me build something they’re proud of, but I also want to be there for the moments that matter.
Lewis Lane is growing, and I’m choosing to focus on what’s working and build for the future.
Our website, app, VIP group, weekly new arrivals, and everything you’ve come to love about Lewis Lane aren’t going anywhere. And neither are we.
If you’re picking up an order, you’ll still see me stop in and visit, and we’ll keep a dressing room available for customers who need to try something on as well and you can always message me
Our monthly Sip & Shop and Botox parties with Jen from Pout Party Med Spa, along with Pink Friday and Black Friday, will continue to be a big part of Lewis Lane.
For now, we’re turning this space into what the business needs most — a warehouse that allows us to continue growing and serving you better.
Thank you for supporting me, my family, and this dream for the last five years.
The storefront chapter may be closing, but Lewis Lane’s story is far from over.
I truly believe the best is still ahead. ❤️
