โก A little heart-to-heart from usโฆ
This is probably one of the hardest posts Iโve ever had to make, especially on social media where we are so used to pretending everything is usually sunshine and rainbows.
Weโre in a really difficult place financially right now. Between both locations (with the GJ location honestly feeling like a HUGE mistake right now ๐), payroll, rent x2, inventory, permits, and all of the unexpected costs that have come with building this business, weโve reached a point where I have to be honest and sayโฆ I need help.
Iโm not going to lieโฆ I am scared. I've never owed so much money in my life.
I STILL believe that once I can get the Grand Junction location actually open, everything will have been worth it.
But right now, I canโt stop asking myself, โWhat have I done??โ ๐ญ
What I DO know is that I have to find a way. So I'm going to keep showing up, keep fighting, and figure it out. Here's how YOU can help:

๐ FRESAS DUBAI
Only $15 EACH when you buy TWO!
If you are in a position where you are able to support us right now, even a small purchase makes a huge difference. Gift cards are especially helpful because you can shop with us now and use them later. ๐
And if youโre not in a position to spend, that is COMPLETELY okay. Sharing this post, tagging a friend, or simply telling someone about Ay Chabela means more to me than you know.
Weโre not asking anyone to give us something for nothing. Weโre asking our community to shop with us, support a small local business, and help us keep this dream moving forward.
Weโve worked SO hard to get here, and we are not ready to give up. โค๏ธ
