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.

Rejoice is more than a bookstore — it is a place where inspiration, community, and meaningful connections come together.

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.

We have already identified potential new locations and are actively working toward reopening, but we need support to move forward quickly and successfully.

Your support will help us:

• Secure a new storefront location

• Restock inventory and expand book selections

• Support local author signings and community events

• Provide children’s storytime and literacy programs

• Rebuild and grow a space dedicated to connection and learning

This moment is not a setback — it is an opportunity to come back stronger and continue serving our community with purpose.

Every donation, share, and purchase helps us take the next step forward.

If you believe in inspiration, literacy, small businesses, and community growth, we would be honored to have your support.
