(Sorry to hear about the closure of Dandelion Consignment on Stittsville Main Street. Owner Sandra Edwards posted a note on the store’s Facebook page today – see below. We wrote about her back in December 2015, and her efforts to have a positive impact on people in need locally and around the world. Good luck Sandy with whatever comes next. -GG.)
We regret to inform you of our closure
Over the past 6 years I have done everything to try to keep this business running for all of us. Unfortunately with all the increases in expenses and rent I am not able to continue Dandelions Consignment. Over past 6 years, I have not taken a salary for myself in order to continue to give you the best service possible. My family and I are deeply grieved at this closure.
First Priority to you our Consignor
It is in my best effort to be the fairest to you my faithful clients. I am unable to do any payouts due to lack of revenue. However we do not want you our consignors to be at a total loss, so we are offering you store credit in lue of money. Consignors will have the opportunity to use store credit on items in the store. I will be opening the store on Tuesday and Wednesday to consignors only. We hope to see you on these days so we can convey our deepest apology to you in person.
We will be closed on Monday
We are closed this Monday in order to put aside all of the consignment that is belonging to you the consignor. This will be placed in bins and labeled for you to pick up. The only items that will be sold are the items that are the property of Dandelions.
If you have further concerns please contact me via email ms.sandy.edwards@gmail.com
Our family are very sad. We will miss this store and our contacts with Sandy. She has been so supportive to all families, and to hurting people in our community and afar. Thank you, Sandy.
