Clientele Barbershop needs a pull up due to riots
Donation protected
Hi I’m Rory Purnell and I am the owner of Clientele Barbershop it’s a local Minneapolis based barbershop. Recently Clientele barbershop was unfortunately hit with vandalism, in reaction to the recent death of George Floyd.
Due to Covid-19 and the Governors order, my shop has been closed for 11 weeks and counting, and during this order i have suffered a great loss of wages and are experiencing a great deal of debt hardship. As the the order was scheduled to lift on June 1st, we (Clientele Barbershop) were preparing to get back to serving our community in a safe and healthy atmosphere, but unfortunately due to the vandalism, we are at risk of not being able to reopen on that date.
Clientele has 7 barbers who pay booth rent and rely on they’re income from the shop to provide for their families. As a whole Clientele relies on the booth rent to cover the expenses of the business. Due to the financial hardship the barbers are already experiencing, I believe that I would be remiss to ask or expect them to have the resources to cover the expenses of the vandalism.
With that said; I Rory Purnell am reaching out to our community to ask of your assistance in our time of need. We love our community and enjoy providing a fun, safe atmosphere to those around us, but it’s going to take your help to get us back on track and keep us where we want and need to be. Please donate what you can and help us to continue to be a force in our community. The donations will go towards paying 3 months of back pay for our rent at the shop, and current month, it will allow clientele barbershop to take care of the bills that hv accumulated for the last 3 months ,remodel for covid-19 preparedness during these hard times as well Also the funds will keep Clientele Barbershop in business and not at risk of shutting down due to debt and hardships. We have no clippers and blades the funds will definitely go towards that immediately for 7 barbers. We also will be able to sustain our position in our community that we call home.
