Dear customers,
It is with great sadness that we share the news with you that we will be closing our Boston Landing location in early January.
We opened our second location in the summer of 2018, just when the neighborhood was beginning to come alive with small businesses, new buildings and new office tenants, and was humming with potential.
Over the course of our five and a half years in business in Boston Landing, we have weathered multiple storms - including the literal rain storm that nearly destroyed our point-of-sale system the day before we opened (!), and most significantly, the pandemic - which has of course had a devastating impact on most brick-and-mortar businesses located in office-heavy neighborhoods. As a family-owned business with no outside investors, we’ve tried nearly every scrappy business and marketing idea in the book to help our nascent second location survive and thrive. Unfortunately, this has been one very long storm we haven’t been able to weather!
We are so proud of everything our Cambridge Naturals - Boston Landing team has accomplished over these years, and incredibly grateful for the truly wonderful community of customers who have made it clear how much they love that location, as well as for our landlord, who has made significant and meaningful efforts to champion the independent businesses in the neighborhood. We are excited to see how the BL community of businesses continues to grow and evolve! We have learned so much, and made some strong connections with friends across the river that will hopefully carry on long into the future.
When we moved from Mass Ave in Cambridge to Porter Square in 2006, we used the tagline, “Help us lighten the load before we move up the road!” So now we’re saying, “Help us reduce our inventory to a sliver before we carry it across the river!” (You can blame my father and CN’s co-founder Michael for the terrible sense of humor.) We will be placing all of our products at CN Boston Landing on sale starting today - Save 30% Off everything in store*! Everything remaining will be transferred over to Cambridge Naturals - Porter Square.
Our current plan is to be open to customers through Friday January 5th, but that may change depending on our in-stock levels (we may close a day or two early) so please call the store before you come over and/or check our website for details.
When the dust settles, we are looking forward to regrouping and turning our full team’s attention to Cambridge Naturals in Porter Square, with significant hope and inspiration. Thank you to all our customers for cheering us on through these wild times. We’re so grateful to be a part of your community, whether near or far.
Emily & Caleb and the CN Team
