<div>Our small business, along with many others, was recently impacted by the sudden closure of Painted Tree Boutique Mall. We are now working quickly to secure a new location so we can continue serving our community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rejoice is more than a bookstore — it is a place where inspiration, community, and meaningful connections come together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As one of the few Black-owned bookstores in the country, representing less than 9% nationwide, this work matters. Independent bookstores like ours help keep reading, culture, and community engagement alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have already identified potential new locations and are actively working toward reopening, but we need support to move forward quickly and successfully.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help us:
</div>
<div>• Secure a new storefront location
</div>
<div>• Restock inventory and expand book selections
</div>
<div>• Support local author signings and community events
</div>
<div>• Provide children’s storytime and literacy programs
</div>
<div>• Rebuild and grow a space dedicated to connection and learning
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This moment is not a setback — it is an opportunity to come back stronger and continue serving our community with purpose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, share, and purchase helps us take the next step forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you believe in inspiration, literacy, small businesses, and community growth, we would be honored to have your support.
</div>
