Capitol Hill Candy Store Needs Some Sweetness
Donation protected
The COVID-19 shut down has been devastating for small businesses in Seattle and Rocket Fizz Seattle is hanging on just like everyone else.
To make matters worse, the store was burglarized last week. The sound of breaking glass was terrifying and alerted me to the crime in progress. A large brick was used to shatter the glass door, the store was vandalized and 100s of items were damaged. We asked the landlord for assistance with costs to repair the door but have not received a response.
Rocket Fizz will be celebrating its 4-year anniversary next month. We have worked hard to make it a welcoming and fun experience for adults and children alike. To this day, we enjoy seeing some of the same customers we met during our first summer.
We've applied for all the grants, loans and assistance available but no funds have been secured yet. We reached out to the landlord for rental assistance during the shutdown but have not received a response.
What we want more than anything is to reopen our doors to the neighborhood. One month's rent/expenses would be help us bridge the gap until other funding can be secured. Any assistance would help us we be ready to open our doors when the time is right!
