Hello everyone,
This is Bonnie from Melting Pot Candy.
First, I want to express what an incredible honor and privilege it has been to serve this community for as long as we have. When we opened our doors on Main Street in Independence in 2016, it truly felt like a dream come true.
As with all dreams, however, there comes a time when they must evolve or come to an end. With a heavy heart, I must share that we will be closing our location for the foreseeable future at the end of this year.
Though this is short notice, we’ve decided to host a special open house combined with a silent auction to celebrate our time here and give our high-quality equipment and furniture a new home.
While we will officially close on December 21st, we invite you to join us for the silent auction on the following dates:
December 20th through 24th and 26th, and 27th.
Bidding will conclude on the evening of Saturday, December 27th, with winners notified that night and on Sunday, December 28th.
Pickup of won items is scheduled for December 28th, 29th, or 30th. Some pieces are quite large, so we kindly ask that winners arrange their own transportation. If needed, we may be able to assist with delivery for a negotiated fee.
Over the years, we’ve accumulated an impressive collection of professional-grade equipment and furniture—far more than I could ever use at home! If you or someone you know might be interested in these items (whether for a business, startup, or creative project), please come by and place a bid.
Even if you’re not bidding, you’re more than welcome to stop in during these days. We’ll be offering complimentary toffee and any remaining inventory for last-minute shopping while supplies last.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for nearly a decade of support, sweetness, and shared memories. You’ve made this journey unforgettable.
With gratitude,
Bonnie
Melting Pot Candy
