     August 1 2023 ANNOUNCEMENT

     As of January 1, 2024, Expressions Emporium Pop-Up Shops and Boutique Store Spaces will be under new ownership.

After the height of the pandemic, Expressions had a problem like many other businesses, with obtaining inventory on time from a number of our vendors struggling with transportation woes. Then shipping fees increased considerably from USPS and UPS making shipping fees to our customers borderline ridiculous. 

Expressions decided to pivot and set its focus, less on the online website, and instead opening a network of pop-up shops and selling space from boutique stores across the US.  In addition, Expressions set up a strategic network of mini warehouses ensuring our shops would have inventory available within a day or two. This concept allowed us to expand very quickly and continue to offer our customers quality curated products and eliminated those ridiculous shipping fees for our customers to obtain our products.  Our new pop-up shops and selling space in boutique stores allowed us to have a "local" presence in so many areas of the country. Custom software was developed to handle inventory from multiple locations in real time which provided what we needed to scale our business incredibly fast.

Fast forward to a month ago, and our pop-up/boutique shops concept caught the attention of a group of retail investors.   They made an offer to buy our business and we saw this as a win-win-win for everyone.  A win for us for sure after many years of hard work since 1974,  a win for our customers who will now have even more curated merchandise from additional new vendors to choose from locally, and a win for the investment group who wanted to expand their holdings and take this concept to a higher level.

Expressions will operate our current pop-up shops and boutique store spaces only until the end of this year to sell out our current summer inventory.  Beginning Jan 2024, under the new ownership, the pop-up shops and boutique store spaces will be expanded and feature many new product lines along with the current ones.

Expressions wants to take this opportunity to thank all our vendors for the great service they provided us and we want to especially thank our customers for their continued loyalty.  It has truly been a pleasure to serve your gift, home decor, health, wellness & spa needs all these years. 

Wishing you all good health and happiness.

Tricia Carrington, CEO/Owner and the Expressions Staff
