A Bittersweet Update from Happy Go Lucky
Dear friends,
We have some heartfelt news to share—after 14 wonderful years in the Short North, our owner has decided to retire Happy Go Lucky in late 2025. While our exact closing date is still being determined by the future tenant, we’ll be winding things down gradually throughout the rest of the year.
That said, this isn’t goodbye just yet! We’re still receiving new arrivals in limited quantities, and we’ve begun offering markdowns on select products—these promotions (and the number of included items) will grow as the season progresses. We simply wanted to give you an early heads-up so you have plenty of time to shop, soak up the space, and say your goodbyes on your own terms.
This decision wasn’t made due to hardship or poor performance—in fact, we’ve been incredibly lucky to have such a supportive and loyal community. It just feels like the right time to begin a new chapter, and we’re choosing to close on a high note.
Starting this week, enjoy 20% off select items, with broader discounts and deeper markdowns coming later. If you’re able, we also encourage you to shop early for the holidays—take advantage of early savings and pre-tariff pricing before things begin to sell through. With even more limited quantities than usual, if there’s something you’ve had your eye on, now is the time. When it's gone, it’s gone!
We are so grateful for your support over the years. Whether you’ve shopped with us from the beginning or only recently found us, thank you for being part of our story. Let’s make this final season meaningful and full of joy—we can’t wait to see you!
With love,
The Happy Go Lucky Team

Q&A
Why are you closing?
We’re retiring the shop on a high note—not due to hardship or poor performance. It simply feels like the right time for a new chapter.
When is the last day?
As of now, late 2025! We don’t have a firm date yet—it will depend on our transition timeline with the future tenant. We’ll keep you posted!
Will there be bigger sales later?
Yes! We’ll be rolling out additional promotions throughout the year. But we encourage you to shop early for the best selection.
Can I still use my gift card or store credit?
Yes! Gift cards and store credit will be honored through our final days. Since our timeline is still developing, we recommend using them soon. Can’t make it in? Shop the same inventory on our website!
Will your website stay open?
Yes, for now! We’ll continue updating it with available items. It features the same selection as our brick-and-mortar shop so it will close when the physical shop closes.
Are you opening a new store or going online-only?
No plans for either for Happy Go Lucky. But if you’re ever near Mill Valley, California, visit our sister store Cypress—same owner, same spirit! They also have an online shop if you are not able to make it in person.
Are you planning a closing party or event?
We just might! Stay tuned for updates.
What’s your return policy during the sales?
For full-price items, our regular 14-day return policy still applies (see website for details). As always, markdowns are final sale. Any changes to the policy will be clearly posted and printed on receipts.
