It's with a very heavy heart that after 5 years of trading through one of the toughest economic climates, we’ve had to face the difficult reality that Thrive is unfortunately not a financially sustainable enterprise. We’ve tried many things to keep going, but rising costs and long-term challenges mean we’ve had to come to the very sad conclusion that it’s time to close this chapter.
Both owners and staff are saddened to lose a business that has felt like home to many of us, and we are endlessly proud of what Thrive has been. We opened in the middle of a pandemic, built a safe and welcoming space for everyone, and created a beautiful community. None of this would have been possible without our amazing team and customers. You truly are the best, and we’re so grateful for your support, kindness, and loyalty over the years.
What this means:
We will remain open as usual throughout October, but we will be closed on Tuesdays.
In November, we’ll open on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) to host the many wonderful events already planned
Menu will be reduced as we go through our stocks and Sunday 30th November will be our last day of trading.
If you have Thrive gift cards or flower rewards, please do make sure to use them over the coming weeks.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. While it’s the end of Thrive as a business, the community we’ve built together will always be something to celebrate.
