We are closing… 🤍 The announcement we never wanted to make. A shock to most everyone… we know. A successful, busy business with 3 years of trusted repeat customers. Something that is so joyful and fun.
So why?!
Michael and I believe in doing something well or it not being worth doing at all. Every decision we make, we’re either all in or it gets tabled until we’re ready.
Over the past year or so, we felt Bounce Around Knox being left on the table because our time, energy & finances had to be redirected to keeping our house from falling apart (literally). Between the black mold, leaking windows, faulty pipes + so much more entangled with a builder that couldn’t possibly care any less about the safety of our family in their new construction home… all while being parents to two young kids + Michael’s 8-5… the stress of managing it all took my health with it last Fall and I have struggled to get back up to full speed since.
So while the decision to close Bounce Around Knox is really sad and feels incredibly unfair to us personally, we also know not having the space to continue to give the business the time and money it deserves isn’t fair to our customers either.
We have been navigating this decision behind the scenes for months and are RELIEVED to be able to announce that ✨we are in the process of signing over our inventory to a couple that is very excited to launch their event business here in Knoxville 🥳 We will share all the information as things get finalized in the coming weeks.
The last day to bounce with us is May 9th and we’re going out with a bang! An almost full schedule of exciting celebrations and repeat customers ☀️🫧🕶️🍭
Thank you, Knoxville for your endless support these last 3 years. We truly enjoyed Bouncing Around Knox with your families and being a part of all the special milestones and celebrations. We are closing this chapter with the very best memories & valuable lessons learned. That feels like a good way to go out 🤍
