While I'm excited about our future, the next two days are bittersweet. Twelve years of fabulousness come to a close. During the last days, I've heard heartwarming stories about how The Green Monkey made a difference in MonkeyFans' lives! But, MonkeyFans touched our lives! MonkeyFans made me a better person than 12 years ago. I'm trying to hold back the tears, but last night, when our Run Club presented this flag to us, I almost lost it! I love these boys and girls. They did so much to support us and keep our doors open! So, if you see tears in my eyes this weekend, it's allergies! Mind your own damn business! 🤣
I'm stealing lyrics from one of my favorite Olivia Newton-John songs, Grace & Gratitude:

Thank you for life
Thank you for everything
I stand here in Grace and Gratitude
And I thank you ...

This is my face when a person walks through the door that we haven’t seen in years and can’t remember them ever buying anything from just to ask “What happened?” “Why are you going out of business?” Still left without buying anything!

Hey y’all. Please forgive me for any inconvenience. Rusty is a feeling under the weather today and we are staying home. Hopefully it’s just a 24 hour bug.

There are so many memories to share! Many have asked for a video of our past 12 years. Unable to get it all in just one video. Here is part one. We are beyond grateful for our excellent 12-year run. You haven't seen the last of us!

The Green Monkey

Locally-owned Raleigh gift shop that is as much a community gathering space as it is retail store. It’s a gift shop that offers gifts from small makers across North Carolina and beyond. It’s a neighborhood bar serving craft beers and fine wine and plenty of selections to take home with you. We hope you leave a little happier than you arrived. You deserve retail done this way!
