Dear valued customers,
There is no smooth or easy way of saying this.
We have sold Fiveways Sherwood. We have ahhed and ummed about this and what it means. It’s one of the biggest decisions we have had to make but we know it’s time. We are tired and sadly not as passionate as we need to be to keep things exciting for you guys.
We are handing our keys and trust over to Oliver and Vivi starting next week. We hope you will continue to support the cafe and to get to know them. They have come from a background of managing cafes. We are excited to see the new life they will breathe into this space. We are so excited for Oliver and Vivi, and we hope that you back them just like you backed us in the beginning. It might be different, but it is a new beginning and fresh opportunity for the space to be lit up again, the way that it needs and deserves to be. They will be extending hours and opening back on weekends in the furture when things have settled. I will be posting about their new facebook and instagram pages soon. I hope you all give them some love and go follow along with them.
We wanted to thank all our staff that have come through Fiveways. They truly feel like members of our family and it’s going to be really tough saying goodbye to the relationships we have built through the years. Many of them trusted us to be their first employers and we never taken that lightly and we hope that working for Fiveways has been fulfilling and fun. As much as we have seen them grow up, they have seen us also grow up, becoming better and more confident bosses. They have made this experience and this chapter all worth it and have impacted our lives more than they probably understand.
The reason I wanted to write this is because many of you have been with us on this journey from the beginning and have seen Michael and I grow up in our twenties. We want to honour that. You have believed in what we created and what it has become through the years and that means more than words can express.
Thank you again for the incredible past 5 and half years.
We will miss you, our daily catch ups, laughs, and the journey we have shared together. We hope you would like to keep following along on a new Instagram and page.
We wish words could truly capture the gratitude and love we have for all of you and the Fiveways community! Thank you for being part of who Michael and I are today! We wouldn't be who we are without Fiveways Sherwood and all of you!
Love from,
Lauren and Michael
And the Fiveways team past and present
