LONG POST....BUT VERY IMPORTANT READ FOR MY CUSTOMERS! We've been busy behind the scenes for what we knew would be a very BIG change! We were planning to have 2 locations in Marion, but we recently got the news that we now have a new landlord. They are the sweetest people, and we love them so much! Our good friends, Dustin & Katie Wheeler-Greenwell have purchased our building. They are wanting to start a wonderful new adventure for Marion! The Franklin Salon, Spa, & Boutique So follow and watch them as they transform this old building into something very special!
NO, THEY ARE NOT KICKING ME OUT!!
Katie (which I can't tag) had offered for me to stay. But, I have a place to go and my lease would be up in December. So we are good, incase you've heard otherwise.
As for us, we will have ONE location inside The Launch Pad (formally True Value Building) 223 Sturgis Road, Marion, KY. It's just down the road and it has a big parking lot in front! No more parallel parking! YAY to that!! When you go in the front doors, you can't miss us! Our store is there to serve all your needs even though we are changing our focus to Sports and Sportswear. There might be a few things, that we will have to stop doing, because we are limited on space.
RUIE CUSTOM SPORTSWEAR will be the new store name! Our sign should be up soon. We are excited to offer custom uniforms, custom spirit wear for all counties and travel teams too! There's no way to display everything we can do, so if you have a request, just ask! We would be glad to answer any questions for you!
For my customers that like to order a Fall Shirt or Christmas Shirt, etc. those will be available on our website or by texting us a design you like. Again, we won't have room at the new location to have it all out. But we sure will be happy to make you one!
Need a custom tee for a birthday, anniversary, concert, or special occasion, we're here for you! You will be able to order any of those things, just like before.
We have stressed about YOU, the customer, would you understand the change, would you still come to see us for your next idea? I've laid awake at night trying to figure a way to still do it all!
Then, my sister Daphnie Tinsley said, "Sis, you know there's reasons for everything! God knows what is best for you!" That is exactly right! He certainly does! He has always taken care of me, He always will!
I'm not always good with big changes like this one. But after my family Colin Belt, Jessica DeBurgo, Rocky Tinsley, Daphnie Tinsley, Devin Belt, Boone, Bridget Boone, Rex, Jax, Oakley, Cohen and Randy Belt (bless his heart, he's been so sick this week!) helped me move most everything down there this weekend and started displaying all the stuff we've been making, it all came together! I cried when I left, thinking how much they all love me to come sweat and carry boxes, climb a latter to install fixtures, dust and clean, and more, all during their time off work, they were like a miracle army!! There will always be work to do, but we will be open for Business at the new location on Thursday (9/10). Watch for news about the GRAND OPENING this month!
We will be closed at the old location while we get ready for our Big Sale. It will start Monday, September 14th and last 2 weeks or unless we sale out before!
If you need a shirt made come see us at the NEW location, or you can message us. Our phone number will stay the same.
(270)969-4341. Our email will stay [email protected]
But don't forget to come shop the BIG MOVING SALE at the old location. I'll update you with pictures and more as soon as I can! Love you all, Latisha!
