Our Vision for White Raven includes:

Local Artisan-Style Shop: The main floor showcases our handcrafted items and locally sourced products. We will also curate a unique collection from local makers, supporting local small business growth. By celebrating diverse artistry, we foster connection and appreciation within our community. Offering second-hand clothing and goods also helps to keep us sustainable and economically sustainable. 🛍️🎨 #LocalArtisans #SupportSmallBusiness #Sustainability

The Campaign FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • What is the store I am looking to purchase? Store I am purchasing is currently called Gypsy Traders GR.
  • Why am I not keeping the current name? I do not identify as a Gypsy. I am not of Romanian decent and nor were my ancestors, I will respect their culture and lifestyle.
  • Why White Raven? The white raven is a rare bird. Spiritually it signifies balance. 
  • Am I buying the building or just name and goods? Just name and good. I will be signing a 2 year lease. The dentist office nest door is the landlord.
  • Will I be keeping my yoga business out of my other location? I will still have the space available for clients in the South side of town but plan to do majority of the work out of the main studio space and store.
  • Will I be keeping the store the same? Not fully. I plan to update the inventory and rearrange. I am looking to bring in more spiritual items such as herbs, crystals, incense, other types of gifts and local made goods, in addition to the current stock.
