"With regret we would like to inform our customers that our brick and mortar shop is closing its doors, and Wednesday March 16 will be our last day we will be doing business in our location," owner Jolanta Rutkowska announced.

The business will instead focus on online sales.

"We would like to thank All of Our Customers for their continuing support and looking forward towards our new chapter.

This is not Good Bye but An Invitation to join our online Community. Jolanta and Sarah," the business said.
