TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS FROM JUNIPER TREE:
Andy and I have some exciting news to share with you. Rather I should say bittersweet news. Juniper Tree has been purchased and the new owner will begin after February 28th.
I will be introducing the new owner very soon. You will find her to be warm and friendly. What she can do that I cannot, is manage time well and balance work and family life. Being a mom is a “one shot at this role.” Andrea’s and Anna’s childhood only ever happens for a tiny window, so I feel that I should concentrate more on this role and possibly revisit the idea of Juniper Tree #2 at some future time in our lives when there are less conflicts with time and responsibilities.
Wilkes' journey has been lots of things – a lot of hard work, emotionally and physically draining, but absolutely rewarding. Our journey has encountered a pandemic and cost increases. More than anything the journey has shown our girls that following a dream, taking risks, getting through the hard times and working harder than you knew possible are better than a life spent wondering “what if”.
While this may be the end of our adventure, we take so many happy memories with us. Among them, the friendships and connections we've made with so many of you throughout this community.
Our new owner has some really great ideas to look forward to and Andy and I are so excited to welcome her and support her.
If you are in possession of a Juniper Tree gift card or have given them as gifts over the holidays, we ask that they be used before our end date of February 28th. The new owner will not be accepting any of them past that date. I apologize for this, however, it's just business.
More details to come...
Amanda and Andy
