With the new year here, lots of exciting new changes are coming to Uvida Shop! In 2023, our biggest highlight was receiving the incredible S.P.A.C.E. Grant from the city of Boston. This grant is an amazing opportunity for Uvida as it practically fully funds a brand-new Boston location for a few years. Since being awarded this grant, we have been on the search for our new space and are so excited to announce we will be opening our new store in the North End! We decided to reopen in the neighborhood where it all began πποΈ
Unfortunately, our Brookline lease is coming to an end this month and we have decided not to renew it. While we wish we could keep both stores open, we know itβs best for the business and for our customers if we put all our energy into making one storefront the best zero waste shop and refillery it can be!
Our Brookline store is set to close at the end of the day tomorrow (Sunday, January 28th) so we can have some time to pack the store up and move into our new North End space.
Weβre going to miss our beautiful little Brookline store and the amazing zero-waste community weβve built here, but rest assured that weβre not going far! In addition to the new Boston storefront, weβre offering free shipping for life to all our Brookline customers (DM us if youβre missing that code) and weβll continue to do pop-ups in Brookline and its surrounding neighborhoods! Along with always having our online website available for customers across the U.S. π
If you are able to visit our Brooklines store one last time, we are currently offering a 15% OFF sale on all plants, and second-hand items, as well as 15% OFF on select refills and plastic-free products through the end of the day Sunday. Shop in-store or online (code: BLMOVING) ππͺ΄
Most of all, we want to thank you for being on this journey with us!π Youβve been with us through all the ups and downs of being a small business, and we would not be able to do any of this without you! We have a feeling that 2024 will be our best year yet and weβre excited to continue on this journeyπ Please stay tuned here (and via our newsletter) for updates about the new store address and our grand opening dates! ππ
