ANNOUNCEMENT!

 As Frank Sinatra sang for so many years … And now, the end is near, and so we face, the final curtain…so too does Wilderness Expressions.  We will be closing/retiring/ending our 19+ year run at the end of the 2024 year.
 
We have made so many new friends and laughed and cried together over all these years.  This will be, by far, the hardest part in closing our doors.
 
The retail industry has definitely changed over these years.  We have loved buying beautiful items for other people to purchase and put into their own homes.  Helping people try to figure out what might work best has been a joy.
 
The coffee/espresso part of Wilderness has been amazing.  Chatting with our “regulars” and keeping in touch with each others lives has been so heartwarming.  We have enjoyed coming into Wilderness every day for these past almost 20 years.  We have always felt lucky and blessed to come into the building that my husband Ron (and friends) totally made over so that we would LOVE coming into work every day 
 
In actually writing this, the enormity of what will be happening in just a few short months really starts to take hold.  There will be many tears shed, along with many happy memories being shared of good times together.
 
The store will have sales on every item until the very end.  As can be expected, the percentage off will increase as the times goes on.  There will be no “holds” on any items, so if you see something you really want, you might want to grab it right away.  If you’re a gambler, wait and see if the percentage off goes up.  Either way, everything will need to go.  ALL SALES WILL BE FINAL!
 
We have ABSOLUTELY HAD THE TIME OF OUR LIVES working here together and meeting each and every one of you.  Thank you for being there for us, filling us with laughter and love and stories that will go on for many years.  It has been a privilege and honor to be a part of your lives and we will never forget it.
 
With Much Love and Gratitude for All Of These Wonderful Years,
 
Lauren McNees & Karen Bronkema
