We started this costume rental business from a private collection in 1999, in a residence in Bellevue. The collection has morphed, and grown, and MOVED at least a dozen times over the years. We are slated to move again, before April 30th 2028, because our current retail leased building has sold and will soon thereafter be demolished.
We're hoping the next address is Permanent. The idea is to buy or build a warehouse, a place that can be open to the public, but also a place from which we can load out for Renaissance Faires and festivals, like our cover picture in this capital campaign.
Not actually asking for a donation: The idea is that you can pre-invest for future transactions at the store. In other words, we are asking you to buy your future-self some store credit, to be used for future dress up joy with us over the next 25 years or more. Think long term with us. We are hoping to have a lump sum payment up front so we can get the move accomplished into our own building, that we own, before this lease expires. (The other half of the money will come from the sale of that little condo where this all began back in 1999.) And you get to enjoy that pre-payment little by little over the next 25 years as you show up and play with us.Β
Thank you for your past support that has kept the doors open all these years. We look forward to a future together serving you!
