Dear BLAEK Store Community,
Nikki, Ange, Claire, Sunday, Dion and Tom are here to share with you, with heavy hearts and lumps in our throats that we are closing down BLAEK Store on January 31st 2024. From that time we will no longer be operating as a physical retail store.Nikki and I started BLAEK Store with one simple goal, to help create a better planet for future generations. Our son Dion was born into BLAEK Store and our hunger for our mission (now shared with a small living, breathing ball of motivation) only got stronger.
So why are we closing? One reason is that BLAEK Store has been suffering from 'long COVID' since the pandemic debilitated our business like it did so many others. We fought every minute of everyday harder than we have in our lives for anything to keep it alive and with your massive support we made it through only to realise that was the easy part. In the time since COVID we have struggled more and more to do what we need to do, what we want to do as a business to achieve our overarching goal.
This may sound pretty sad but Nikki and I are fighters and lovers and we strongly believe that during life's toughest times comes the most beautiful next steps and while we feel like we have let you down, we also know that we now have an opportunity to make an even bigger impact.
The second reason for closing is exactly that, while our physical retail store will no longer be operating, our recycling program will still be in full swing and will be our main focus moving forward, this is the end of one chapter, and the beginning of a new one which we are so excited to get stuck into. We would love your continued support as we look to expand and grow our revamped recycling program, W.I.S.E, which will be more community focussed than ever before. We'd love for you to stick around and bear with us as we find a nice new home for you to drop off your recycling, for now our online store will still be open for all recycling bookings moving forward. Our last day of trade will be January 31st and between now and then we would very much love to see you in store or online, for any Christmas shopping or just to say goodbye.
It's really important for us to say that while it is goodbye to BLAEK Store Nikki and I are not going anywhere. We always have been and always will be a huge part of this incredible community and look forward to supporting it just like it has us.
Effective, NOW we are offering you 30-80% OFF our entire range of clothing and footwear store/ site wide as a CLOSING DOWN SALE and it couldn't come at a better time with Christmas just around the corner. Everything has been discounted so get shopping!
Supporting BLAEK Store one last time will ensure that we can fulfil our financial obligations, lessen the huge impact on our personal finances that we will need to inject into the business for this final stage and go straight into the pockets of our incredible brand partners and real estate agent who have all been nothing but supportive of us over the years.
PLEASE support BLAEK Store one last time.Thank you so much for absolutely everything and we hope to see you soon.
Lots of Love.Nikki, Ange, Claire, Sunday, Dion and Tom.
