The value of great employees

3/2/2021

 
Picture
The worst part about closing the Drizzle & Shine physical location will be laying off my wonderful staff. I didn't make this decision lightly. And frankly, it wasn't really a choice. We just can't stay open and pay the expenses of a brick and mortar store with the drop in sales we've seen since the beginning of the pandemic.

Going exclusively online doesn’t take the time and work that running a physical location requires. People are the best part of a store. But without customers to interact with, displays to set up, shelves of inventory to replenish, events and fundraisers to plan and run, there isn't enough work for any of us.

​I've had several terrific employees throughout the years, but Brit and Amity are exceptional. They have been with the store since the beginning--almost unheard of in retail, where turnover is high.

Customers love them, they go above and beyond in their customer service and merchandising, and I can count on them to deliver, no matter what the job. Best of all, they are both long-time vegans and strong advocates for animals and humans. I'm happy they're more than employees. They are my friends.
​
A blog post will never be enough. Come on by in the next couple of months and show them some love before we close the doors. Drizzle & Shine wouldn't be what it is without them.
