Hey everyone, it’s Annie ❤️
All of the Hallmark memories I have been sharing lately… they are leading up to this.
After almost 50 years, my dad, Dave Simkins, is getting ready to close this chapter and step into retirement.
It is hard to put into words what this store has meant to our family. It has never just been a business. It has been where we grew up, where we learned how to work, and where we were lucky enough to be part of so many of your lives.
Through birthdays, holidays, weddings, and hard days… you let us be there with you. That is something we will never take for granted.
We would love to see you one more time.
Join us for a retirement celebration this Friday from 10 to 2 at Leslie’s. Come share a story, a memory, or just say hello.
And knowing my dad… this is not really goodbye. You will still see him around. He is not one to sit still 😊
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Helena. You have made this journey so incredibly special ❤️
