there seem to be more Pagan shops around Michigan than ever before, the community has also had three shops in metro-Detroit close this year already.
In Feburary, L&L Apothecary in Troy closed due to a family emergency. They had just opened in November, and their shop seemed to be growing quite nicely.
In late March, The Sacred Sage in downtown Farmington announced they’d be closing, stating that they were moving on to other things. Their closure was finalized at the end of April.
Today, Evenstar’s Chalice in Ypsilanti also announced their impending closure. They plan to keep their online store open, but are closing their shop on Huron Street sometime in July or August, and closing their community space on Packard in mid-May. They note that if you have reward points, those will only be valid while the physical store is still open.
The last few years have been quite challenging for brick & mortar businesses, and SEMAPHORE News reminds you to support your local Pagan shops.
