Project Description

Dear Supporters,

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to look at my funding campaign. I can’t express enough my appreciation for all the positive encouragement I have received in this difficult time. Allow me to tell you a little about my store, which has been my dream for longer than I can remember.

Vino Amore is a small local woman owned wine store that specializes in bringing wines not widely available to it’s clients. We offer wine education seminars and support our local community by giving profits back to local charities like kids sports teams, food pantries, and a local cancer nonprofit. I believe in being part of the community, both as a small business and as a resident.

The opportunity to expand our client base and following is exponential. Our local market is plentiful with everyone from beginners in wine enjoyment to connoisseurs. I work with local wine brokers to put together an offering of wines that is both unique and classic. Our following gains ground each day and I frequently have people reach out to me asking about a particular wine or if I could give recommendations.

I am seeking funding because the pandemic of 2020 was a substantial hit to my small business and we were unable to be open over the summer months to support bringing in large amounts of inventory. Additionally, the town of Raymond, where we are located, after giving approval to open, stepped in nearly a year later in November of 2020, to issue a cease and desist for repair work to the building we are in. I have been spending substantial money to meet the towns demands and ended up choosing to go to a new location a few miles away. I moved the business to this location with the intention of repurposing a historic building in town with my wine store, but alas that part of the dream is no longer possible. So I move forward and always focus on the purpose behind my dream.  Essentially, I am starting from the ground up again, picking myself up and dusting myself off and rebuilding the small store I am so proud of.

The funds raised will be used to not only cover costs incurred during the COVID19 pandemic that we were prevented from being able to cover, but also increase our wine inventory and bring more education and charitable events to the store. I also hope in the future to be able to offer small gatherings from parties to fundraisers. I run the store by myself, with an incredible support system of friends, family, and a husband that have all believed in my dream from day one.

Thank you for considering Vino Amore.

Cheers,

Alissa
