Locally Obsessed

23/06/2023

Hello!

It has been a while! After a long silence I figured it was time to announce that Locally Obsessed is officially closed (but you gathered that already)
I have never been good at letting go and had hoped to pass the business along but life and time are not on my side and I need to close this chapter once and for all.

I am so thankful for the connections I made and people I met along this journey!

I will not be closing my social media accounts because I am proud of this project and want to look back at all the memories from time to time as well as use it for a quick reference when I need to do some local shopping :) That being said, I will no longer be posting.

Thank you for all the support over the years!

xoxo Nicole

PS
I am going to be busy tying up lose ends over the next week so if you need to contact me ([email protected]) for anything please do so sooner rather than later as I won't be checking on things for much longer.

UPDATE, (Fall 2022) WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT TEAM TO TAKE OVER :)

New year New you?
Yeh I think we can all agree this statement is really overrated right now (especially since we are 20 days into January and nothing seems to have changed!)
Ima give it a shot anyway! If you are looking for something new? A big change? A rewarding business opportunity? A chance to support all our favourite local artisans and business owners?! Well, I'm popping back on Instagram to remind you that Locally Obsessed is still for sale! I am dedicated to finding the right people to take over this company that I have worked so hard to create. If you feel that it might be the right fit for you please send an email to [email protected]

I haven’t been around for a while, as some of you may have noticed.   I took a 6 month break from Locally Obsessed, during which I have spent a lot of time reflecting about the future of my brand.
 
After years of trying to convince myself otherwise, it’s obvious to me now that I can’t continue to operate the business on my own.  I love the vision, the creative aspect, the community building, but the administrative and business side were never my strength.  Coupling that with working a day job and being a parent, in a pandemic, with additional personal issues on top of everything…  I have run out of time and energy to spend on pushing my business to reach its full potential.
 
 
Before I call it a day and close up shop, I am putting feelers out to see if there is anyone interested in taking on ownership of the business. I am looking for either a single person or someone who wants to split it into a team or partnership.  I am open to staying on the team to help with branding and photography. 

I have an established app that is ready to connect clients with their dream vendors and I have a bi-monthly subscription with active subscribers. The potential of Locally Obsessed is unlimited.
 
Locally Obsessed is fully set up, a business in a box. All of the start up costs have been taken care of. We have a strong brand and followers.

 If you have contacted me in the past regarding franchising or collaboration and think this might be the right fit for you please reach out, and if you’ve ever thought you’d love to do something like this but don’t know how to get it off the ground … you don’t have to do that part.  
 
Interested parties should email [email protected] for more details.
 
If you’re not interested in taking over the business but you are interested in knowing when your next subscription will come, well, don’t panic.  I will be keeping subscribers as informed as possible as I move forward.
