The post read:

It is with mixed emotions that I announce the retirement of our business after 26 years of dedicated service, we have decided to retire and close the business, effective Aug. 16, 2024. This decision was not made lightly, but after much consideration, we am confident that this is the right step for us at this point in our life.

As a result, all business operations, including supply will cease on the aforementioned date. I want to express my deepest gratitude for the support of all customers and employees for the 26 wonderful years of our operations.
