This isn’t an easy post to make, Orwell—but let me start by saying thank you.
Thank you for allowing me to carry on in memory of my mom. She loved Dolly so much and always supported my small-town business dreams. She believed in me when no one else did.
Orwell was never just a store to me. It was a way to honor my mom, to find the closure I needed, and to grieve in the way that felt right for me. I never once regretted opening Orwell—not for a second. It gave me healing, purpose, and a way to keep her spirit alive. And I know my mom would never want me to stretch myself thin while trying to be a present mother myself.
Thank you for letting me live out a dream—one that turned customers into family.
With that being said, Cup of Ambition under our ownership will be closing on 1/30 at 2 PM.
This chapter may be ending for us, but this is not the end of Cup of Ambition. There will be a temporary closure while some truly amazing people—who are passionate about healthy lifestyles—prepare for their grand reopening. We are so excited about what’s ahead for this space and fully trust the people stepping in.
Between now and closing, my dad will be finishing out the week, so please make sure to stop in, grab your favorites, and celebrate the memories with us. He’ll also be showing the new owners the ropes—making sure all of your favorite teas and shakes are in good hands.
While they’re getting things ready, we know you still need your tea fix ☕️ so here are a few important things to know:
1. Any existing gift cards can be used at Champion Nutrition
2. If you can’t make it to Champion for the time being, I can set you up with your favorite teas and shakes to buy in bulk—just message us
3. We can ship Mega Tea kits—message us to set that up
4. Please continue to support your local businesses. They need it now more than ever. And please be kind—these new owners are excited, passionate, and we would never steer you wrong, Orwell
So many of you started as customers and became family, and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you for the love, the support, and the memories.
This isn’t goodbye—it’s see you later 🤍
