Just got a short note from On the Way Maternity owner Rosa Lim, asking us to post to tell you that “we are closing our doors.” The store opened 14 months ago at 5446 California SW. ADDED 6:02 PM: Rosa also wanted to share a message explaining what happened, and detailing her going-out-of-business sale — read on:
My name is Rosa Lim, owner of On the Way Maternity. I am deeply saddened to announce that after fourteen months, we will be closing our doors for good. Our reasons are both personal and financial due to the poor economy.
My husband and I have a two and a half year old son and a four month old baby girl. It’s been extremely exhausting for the both of us managing the store, work and everything at home. We both knew it would be very difficult to start the business but still wanted to give it a try. I have truly enjoyed having the opportunity to meet so many nice people, but I really miss being able to spend time with my kids.
Both of our parents have been taking care of our children while we are at work. My mother’s health has been slowly going downhill since 2005 and has been continuing in that direction. Therefore, she is unable to watch them much longer and soon we will be without a babysitter. As for myself, always being on the go and commuting back and forth has finally caught up with me and I too am not feeling well lately.
It’s hard for us to let go of the store because my husband and I along with our family have put so much into the store both physically and financially. In the end, my family and my health is most important. So for these reasons, I have decided to stay home full time with my children and enjoy life without all the rush.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us! All of you have been so kind to us. We will slowly start to liquidate items in the store as follows. We don’t have a final close date, but we will keep the blog posted. The show for Nancy Stewart on Nov. 19th is cancelled.
For the remainder of the month of November, 20% everything in store. Limited quantity on in-stock furniture. Get it before it’s gone…..questions call 206-938-2229.
