<div>UPDATE 2/24/2025:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Exciting news! Einnim Candle Bar + Apothecary in Oak Park is gearing up to move to Einnim Creative Studio in Pilsen!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I received an offer today that has accelerated the timeline significantly, meaning I'll need to close the Oak Park location by March 15th. Full disclosure, this has made the financial needs for the move a bit tighter than anticipated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, I've poured my heart and soul into this business, and this move is a major step in its growth. So, to help with the expenses, I've decided to revisit my GoFundMe campaign.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>GoFundMe: 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Moves can be costly, and your support would be instrumental in helping Einnim Candle Bar close its doors smoothly, and Einnim Creative Studio open successfully.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The commitment that I have to continue Einnim's growth is unrelenting, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to nurture its growth. For those who have been on this journey from the start, you know it's been a wild ride, and I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for believing in me and continuing to support me and this dream. I promise this is just the beginning of bigger things to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>XOXO,
</div>
<div>Elita

<div>Hi, my name is Lita, I started <a href="https://www.einnim.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Einnim</a> in May of 2020 after being laid off due to the pandemic. As an immunocompromised (autoimmune) gal, I wanted to bring something to the table that would bring at least a bit of solace to my friends in common.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With a bit of cash flow, an INSANE amount of drive, and just the right amount of support from friends and family, I managed to grow Einnim into a brick-and-mortar/e-commerce/event-producing machine now with an AMAZING team to continue on this incredible journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With success comes the need to keep producing capital---like, there's NO time to slow down which is why we've decided to take the next step in growing Einnim Candle Bar + Apothecary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To maintain our small business culture and honor my grandmother Minnie's (get it??) name, we've decided that a GoFundMe was the best way to do so.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, here we are today, asking our amazing supporters, friends, and family to help us keep this dream alive!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any money donated will be used to:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Maintain monthly storefront lease (Ending May 2026) and pay staff in a timely manner.
</li>
<li>Continued marketing efforts to expand our reseller network throughout the states, starting with PNW and West Coasts.
</li>
<li>Purchase products to ensure that inventory needs are met to meet or exceed monthly sales goals.
</li>
<li>Comfortably manage large wholesale orders and events.
</li>
<li>Remit payments for local market events to spread awareness of brand throughout Chicago and eventually other midwest states.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2023 Goals:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Expand Einnim wholesale into 3 locations in the Pacific Northwest and West Coasts (Einnim product is currently sold in over 15 locations throughout Illinois and Wisconsin).
</li>
<li>Apply for a wholesale opportunity with Trader Joes.
</li>
<li>Triple 2022 net sales.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I appreciate each and every one of you and know that Einnim would not be where it is today without you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>xoxo, Lita
</div>
