Happy Monday, Vancouver!

So before August sneaks up with back-to-school ads and pumpkin spice anything, make the most of what’s left of July, yeah?!

Here's what to expect in today's edition of The PNW Report (Vancouver)😀

😭 Kindred Announces Closing

Sad news alert: Kindred announced this weekend that it would be closing its doors permanently due to slow sales, rising rents, and other factors. There is no estimated closing date, but they are attempting to make it until September 15th, 2025 (their 5-year opening anniversary). Until then, let’s all do our best to support them by visiting their store and purchasing some goods!
