Big Changes Ahead for Ramble
Hey friends,
We’ve got some big changes coming to Ramble, and I wanted to take a moment to share them with you. Over the past few years, I’ve been wrestling with a lot — grief, burnout, and the constant balancing act of running a small business. And in that time, one phrase has kept coming up: “Do less with more intention.” It’s a simple idea, but one that’s become more meaningful as I reflect on what I truly want for Ramble, my family and myself.
So, here's what’s happening:
Phase 1: Outsourcing our Printing
After much thought, I’ve made the difficult decision to outsource our printing. The truth is, I just can’t do it anymore. We’ve found some incredibly talented and trustworthy printers who will be taking over the physical and manual labor side of our operations. Over the last year, I’ve noticed a decline in quality, and it started to chip away at my creativity and passion for design. This shift will allow me to get back to what I love—planning and designing great garments for you. It’s my hope that I can get back to what used to fuel me. Thoughtful and intentional designs that bring encouragement, fun and humor into the world. And who knows, the Ramble Box may come back!
Phase 2: Moving Our Wichita Falls Location
The next step in our intentional simplification is moving our Wichita Falls location into a shared space with our amazing neighbor and fellow small business owner, Resupply at The Yucca House. We believe that two is better than one, and combining our stores will allow us to operate more efficiently, financially, and with a greater sense of community.
We have absolutely loved serving the Wichita Falls community with a standalone store for the past 9 years, and we are so grateful for all of your support. We believe this change will open up new possibilities and allow us to have more energy and capacity to say “yes” to even more opportunities for Wichita Falls in the year ahead.
Our space at Resupply will be thoughtfully curated with Wichita Falls goods, Ramble favorites, gifts, and more—still very much a place that reflects the heart of Ramble, just in a new setting.
Final Thoughts
This decision has not been an easy one. Change, while necessary, can be tough, but we’re embracing this new chapter with open arms. We’re excited about what lies ahead and can’t wait to continue this journey with all of you.
Thank you for your unwavering support—whether you’ve been with us since day one or just recently discovered Ramble, we appreciate you more than words can express.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Wichita Falls is a quirky place to live and own a shop. I wholeheartedly believe joining forces with another local business is going to be amazing. I’ve long admired and respected the hard work that Kacie, owner of Resupply, has poured into her shop, as well as Shea and Cody, the owners of Yucca House. It’s truly an honor to team up with them and bring one incredible shop to Downtown Wichita Falls.
Here’s to simplifying, recharging, and making the next chapter the best one yet.
With love,
Kathryn
