This is a difficult post to make but we have decided that we simply cannot continue to run the store. With a heavy heart, we have decided to close The Rookery, effective immediately.

We tried to avoid this with changes but we've gotten to a point where we just simply cannot justify staying open.

This will likely overjoy some and disappoint others.

Despite the constant rumours that we were closing, this was never on the table until now.

We only wanted to be a safe place that helps the community and it's artists. That never changed. We were very proud to support over 40 local artists. It breaks our hearts to lose this store and to disappoint our regulars and those who really need us.

Despite the constant rumours that we were closing, this was never on the table until now. It's been a discouraging last couple months and we've just reached our end.

We're proud of what we achieved in the time we were open and sad to see it go but we are ready for a new chapter in our life and must prioritize ourselves at this stage.

We will be open sometime soon for a clear out sale of some items. Keep an eye out for that.

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. We're sad to go but looking forward to whatever comes next.

Thank you to everyone who was apart of this journey and supported us. It means the world!

We've got most of the local artist collective moved to its new spot in the store which means we are officially taking donations for "the ravens collection"... The new thrift part of our store.

We won't be able to take any furniture or large items but are accepting smaller items such as clothes, books, oddities, records, decor, and treasures!
Contact us if you're looking to donate anything!

Our goal for this thrift store is to bring back affordable but quality thrIfting!

Looking forward to this change!

Things are changing! ✨

Our plan for the store has changed!
There is gunna be a lot of shuffling around the next little while but we have stuff to look forward to!

Instead of doing deli items, we have decided to add the thrift/antique section back!!

Don't worry, we will still have your grocery essentials (just a little more downsized), drinks, and treats! 🛍️

Bear with us during this adjustment, we will try to do it as smoothly as possible!

If you're looking to buy things for a store (cooler, freezer, slushy machine, etc) keep an eye out as we will be listing some stuff soon!

If have anything you'd like to donate, contact us directly though Facebook, email ([email protected]), or text (250-274-4132 ... Text only please.)

Well, were honestly a bit disappointed that this has to happen but there is now a backpack and large bag ban from the store due to thefts.
You can leave your bag at the counter or on the eating bar but you cannot carry it with you anymore.
