I’ve seen so many businesses closing with messages that begin: “It is with a heavy heart…” and mine aches for them. There is nothing like giving your passion your all and having to feel the pain of defeat.
Today I am so blessed and grateful to be able to say that it is with a FULL and DANCING heart, I announce I will be closing “The Station” at the end of this year, exact date TBD, but between Dec. 22 and Dec. 31. 2025. Now is the time to use up your gift cards – tell your friends and family!
Your heart is FULL and DANCING, really Shirley?!
Yes, really! Here’s why…
I have LOVED serving our community and its visitors, sharing stories and connection over nosh and coffee drinks I have made with love. I have watched children, friends, families, and other businesses grow, all within the hardship and magic that is life. While my fade out of the coffee biz may not look like growth, I have grown by leaps and bounds through this venture! My internal evolution has allowed me to see that my passion does not live in this type of service. As soon as I realized this truth, The Universe provided the means for a lovely transition, for both myself and the fabric of Trempealeau!
What do you mean by “means of transition”?
First, buyers for my business! And not just any buyers, but ones who could meet me where I want to operate. People with heart and soul, care and concern, interest in mutual benefit instead of mutual exploitation. In short, people who care about people, their own dreams and passions, as well as being of service within our beautiful community. And yes, 11369 Main Street will still be a place to gather, enjoy delicious coffee drinks and other delectable treats, along with brand new offerings! All with a style you’re just gonna love – I promise!
What’s Next?
We’re going to practice living in the NOW together on this, ok?
Right now, my customers and our community need to know they have a limited time to use up their gift cards from The Station and to keep an eye out for future messaging – there will be MORE!
Also, while this sale is sure close to a “done deal”, we are living in 2025 – the year of “WTF was that?!”
Regardless of the outcome of this sale, The Station will be closed at the end of this year. I have a list of interested buyers/renters, and should you want to be added, zip me an email at [email protected]. There be magic here for sure, it’s just time to pass the wand.
Post your questions in comments or via email so I/we make sure to address them in future messaging. If you are privy to something that isn’t YOURS to share, then please don’t.
I will share more of what is MINE to share over the next month, and when the new owners are ready, they will begin their own story…down on Main Street in Trempealeau, WI!
