The Little Shop of Olive Oils moves slightly

via The Little Shop of Olive Oils:

The Little Shop of Olive Oils moves slightly

"One door closes… and another opens—literally.

Today (7/29/25) we officially closed the door at 5 Main Street for the very last time. So many memories were made there—tastings, laughs, new friendships, and flavor discoveries. But now, just a few steps away, 9 Main Street is ready to welcome you with open arms…don’t mind the mess while we decorate!

Same shop, same heart, same team—just a fresh new space filled with more local finds, more gourmet treats, and more room to gather.

Come visit us. You’ll still feel right at home."

We heard this move was coming as during the recent Town Council meeting their alcohol license was approved for the move from 5 Main St to 9 Main St.

While being more visible on Main St, they apparently will also have more room. I plan on stopping in on my next walk around. (It's been too hot to do much walking recently.)

Tracey's story, to blog or not to blog

Via Tracey at The Little Shop of Oils starts a blog called "The Little Corner"

A special note from me…🧡

Hey everyone, Tracey here. I’ve been working on something deeply personal and important to me, and today, I’m both excited and terrified to share it with you.✨

To blog or not to blog…that’s been the question for a long time.🤔

I’ve kept this part of my story tucked away, hidden behind the scenes, but now, I’ve realized that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. So, despite the twisting in my stomach, I’m taking a leap of faith.✨

My first blog dives into a journey close to my heart – navigating life with MS while running The Little Shop. It’s my story of challenges, triumphs, and the raw realities of balancing health and entrepreneurship…

Thank you so much for following along and for your endless support …it means the world to me ❤️
