What is the reason for the sale?

I’ve grown this business into a well-established, locally loved brand with a successful store and an online platform. While I’m proud of what it’s become, I’m ready to explore new ventures and focus on other personal or business goals. I believe the business is perfectly positioned for someone to take it even further—whether that’s expanding into new areas, adding services, or scaling the online store nationally. It’s the right time to hand it over to someone with fresh energy and vision.
