From Angie, at 3 Monkeys Bakery

I don't have it in me right now to go into all the details, but due to some major intimidation tactics from my landlord, which ended in my calling 911 today. The landlord sent his child in to video the shop (“for insurance purposes”) with absolutely no warning and his child barged behind the counter- which I told him he can’t do. The child went out, and the landlord sent him back in several times! The child kept trying to come behind the counter to video. It was bizarre and scary. The customers in the shop were alarmed and stood in front of me and the counter entrance while we waited for the police😭. Of course the police said he can’t do this(obviously) and sent him away. I am rattled and very tired.

Because of this, I'll begin packing up tomorrow & Sunday. The door will be locked but if you'd like to stop by feel free to knock and I'll let you in for a big hug.

I may actually need help -we need to secure storage unit first -just waiting for call back.

Lake community, what a blessing it has been to get to know you and serve you.
I hope to open in a new location soon.
Thank you for all your love and kindness.
XOXO Angie

As you can see, this has been an absolutely heartbreaking situation. Angie had to bury her son several weeks ago. To have her income cut off so abruptly, in a time of grief and hardship, and then to lose her beloved shop. It’s too much. Then to have to spend money on storage and finding a new place, it’s just a lot for her to handle.

Angie paid for the shelving, lights, appliances, furniture. If anyone has any old light fixtures hanging around, we need to replace the beautiful Lottie lights with something so we don’t leave the shop with no lights. If you know of an electrician that would help, that would be nice too. If you can help remove the shelves and anything off the wall, that would be helpful too. We have already spent money with attorney’s and Angie can not afford much right now. But if you have some tools, and some time, I think it would help her so much. Please contact her directly!

She also doesn’t know I am putting this here, but as one could imagine, an abrupt loss of income will be devastating for her. If you feel the need to give to her Venmo, I’m going to drop it here. No pressure at all and she didn’t ask me to do this. She has been nothing but a wonderful tenant, invested in the community. We feel partly responsible to help her get out as safely and on the best footing as possible.

There’s nothing quite like the Lotawana community. We are forever grateful for how you all supported us especially during Covid when we could have easily not been able to sustain. But instead, we shined! We paid our employees and we were able to serve the community well. Thank you for the memories and Thank you for how you showed up for us! 🖤🤍✨

On Friday at 3:15 pm I had non renewal of lease papers brought to me in the shop.😩

Not the customary 90 or the agreed upon 30 days. 25 days to let us know our lease wouldn’t be renewed. No conversation or negotiation .... no phone calls or dialogue accepted.

We haven’t paid rent late, shop is part of community and doing great. It was nothing on our end. This is our livelihood.

We have 4 employees (besides me and family) and 7 different makers/crafters in the shop. We have loyal customers and new ones coming in everyday.

It is said that there will be a wine bar put in its place— the Lottie is next to a bar and next to a restaurant with a full bar.

Apparently, April 27 will be our last day and we will have special live music from 6-8pm.

We want to stay in the area with the people that have become so dear to us so if anyone knows of a space please reach out 3 Monkeys Bakery !

We have loved this little shop and the people who come in. 🖤🤍

To our customers…

So many good times and memories were made here at the Lottie. Thank you for loving on us as we’ve served you these past four years. We’ve learned a lot and grown together as a team. We’re very thankful for all of the Lottie gals on staff and couldn’t have done it without them.
Our hope is that you will continue to step into this little shop that we’ve poured our hearts into and love so much. We wish Angie the best of luck!

We will miss this!! We will miss you!

It has been a delight and a joy to revive this little corner and to make a shop we’re really proud of. Our employees were incredibly integral and carried this baby through a freakin’ pandemic. We are so thankful for our managers .hartman and 😭♥️

We are so happy to be passing our sweet shop to someone who is a part of the community and will take what we’ve done & make it better.
