Dear Chandlr Fam,

You might have not seen us during the Melissa Tribute Fest (Zach was sick and Amelia was unavailable - Josh was not in town) and you likely have noticed that we haven't been as talkative as of late. This is because we were weighing the very heavy decision to close down Chandlr for good and we have finally landed on that decision.

It has been an amazing couple of years growing this brand with you, hearing your stories, connecting, networking, and having a ton of laughs. That was the best part about this whole venture.

Over the last year we have been busy with insane ups and insane downs - from family member and pet deaths to getting engaged and married, and even moving across McKinney. You could say that we all have had a large dose of life over the last year or more.

For a large majority of the more hurt and stressful times we hit the ground doing market after market, boosting our online sales, mobile orders, and more. We're proud of what we accomplished as a small family owned candle company.

So...where are we off to next? Maybe this next part can be visualized like a movie, right before the credits roll, the narrator lets you know what each character did and is doing now.

---------------------

Zach stopped working as Chandlr's Chief Operations Officer and pursued a career in being a locksmith. He's still looking for a creative outlet but one of these days he'll land on it - for now, he sails off into the sunset with his dog Greta.

Josh developed productivity software for small businesses and is doing well (www.makr-pro.com) and is just about to launch a social media app (www.social-orbit.app). He is enjoying having the free time on the weekends to travel, build a life in his new marriage and with his pup Copper.

Amelia, yeah we still don't know what she's doing with her life yet.

---------------------

Honestly though - Chandlr helped us through a lot and if it wasn't for y'all being there to support us, who knows where we would all be as a family. Thank you, so much. There are a lot of you out there but we wanted to give a few shoutouts:

• Melissa Market - Caitlin, Britney, and Lisa - y'all treated us so well and we appreciate you for all the work you do for the community.
• Russ + Family, y'all are the greatest.
• Zareena - one of our favorite customers.
• TUPPS Brewery for helping us get our feet on the ground with several of our first markets + the free drinks.

...and of course, all of our monthly subscribers and customers across the USA. <3
