Kody Wolf and Jalisa Miller are opening a new business on Main Street in Moosomin this Saturday, March 28. The two sisters are excited to offer a new, unique small business to the community and area.
“Grace and Gather is a retail space focusing on women’s clothing, home goods, stationery and party goods, and our upstairs will be a rental space that will accommodate small event gatherings, pop-up events, photography studio space, etc,” Wolf explained.
Wolf has past experience working in retail and was interested in opening her own retail business.
“I have been in and out of retail for much of my teenage and adult life, and when we saw this building for sale, we saw an opportunity to bring something unique to the community and build a space that feels intentional and warm.”
Behind the name
Miller says their mom was the inspiration behind the businesses name.
“Grace is our mother’s middle name, so we knew from the start that we wanted to include her in some capacity,” she says. “She was our inspiration from the start. As well as seeing ‘grace’ as warmth and intention while ‘gather’ is bringing people together.”
Miller explains Wolf brought the idea to her about the opportunity last December.
“It was really Kody’s idea starting it. She has always been involved in retail and I think it was time she felt like doing something on her own, so the retail idea came from Kody, and then I got involved to help with the business side of things and helping get it set up. I feel like some people think going into business with your sister isn’t a good idea, but we get along well, and we are just excited to do this together. Kody has her areas of expertise and I have mine. It has been going really well.”
Planning started in December
Wolf explains they started looking at buildings in town last December and began renovating shortly after.
“We started looking at the building last August and we went through the motions for a few months going back-and-forth looking at it and deciding if it was something we wanted to do. We purchased the building in December, and we’ve been renovating it, starting as soon as we purchased it, since the second half of December, and our opening date is this Saturday, March 28 so we are coming to the end.”
She adds, “We saw an opportunity to bring something unique to the community and wanted to fill the space that felt intentional. We love how fast Moosomin is growing, and the community has been so supportive, and it really has an uplifting culture when it comes to small businesses.”
Opening day March 28
Grace and Gather, located on Main Street beside New Sky Nail Salon, is hosting their grand opening this Saturday. The event includes drinks and snacks to celebrate the new business.
“It will be an all-day event,” said Wolf. “We are going to have snacks and drinks, some special discounts, and a giveaway. We will be open from 10 am to 5:30 pm Monday to Saturdays.
“We are located right beside the nail salon, it was the building that used to be Brazen. We looked at a few different locations in town and we kept coming back to this one because it really is the perfect location. We are right on Main Street and in a busy area, so we will be able to attract a lot of people here and that is important obviously for any business.
“We post on Instagram with updates as our main social media. We do have a Facebook page, but our following is quite a bit larger on Instagram, so that is where we are posting most of our information.”
Interest in rental space
Miller says they have had interest in the rental space already.
“We’ve actually had quite a bit of interest already for that. Initially they have been messaging on Facebook or Instagram, but as we start to advertise that more, it will be just a phone call or text. We are hoping when our website goes live, there will be a booking directly on the website. It goes live on opening day on March 28.”
Background in business
Wolf explains her experience in retail, which includes working at the clothing store Kari’s Kloset in Moosomin.
“Throughout my teenage years I worked at Brazen when it first opened, I worked at Hillberg and Berk for three years in their retail space both online and in-store, and I worked at Kari’s Kloset and worked on her website with her, so it is something I have done for quite a few years now as a side-hustle. When we saw this opportunity, I thought it could be something I wanted to do.”
Miller adds, “I don’t really have a business background, but I have worked at the mine for almost 15 years now and I’ve been involved in a lot of project management settings, but starting a small business was definitely still a learning curve for me.”
What to expect at Grace and Gather
Wolf explains the uniqueness the new business offers for the community.
“I think the inventory and products we brought to the store are different from where you can find anywhere else in town. There is already such good shopping in the community and we wanted to make sure we were bringing in something very different and not the same brands as anyone else, so shoppers can expect different styles.
“There will be clothing, but also a lot of giftware and fun crafts. With no Dollar Store in town, we saw that as an opportunity to bring in unique and more elevated party supplies and entertainment stuff.
“The vibe is a very calm, relaxed, and curated environment.
“We hope people can find our store as something different, very unique, a very different aesthetic vibe you wouldn’t get from other stores in town, and I think it is really unique that we have the rental space upstairs,” adds Miller.
“There aren’t a lot of rental spaces in town for small events, and also aesthetically pleasing ones, so it is nice to have that option in town. We hope people come to our space and use it.” Tweet
