Some Sad News From Wild Raven Soap Company...

We’ve been dreading needing to share this news and know it will come as a surprise. It’s with a heavy heart that we’re announcing that after five and half years in business, Wild Raven Soap has decided to close our doors for the foreseeable future, and set our sights on new goals.

Although our business is financially strong and we’ve enjoyed steady growth over the past two years, we’re unfortunately at a crossroads as we are losing our store and soap production space later this summer.

We have been in the process of negotiating a new lease with the property owners for the past few months, but have been unable to find a middle ground, and are simply unable to absorb the nearly 100% increase in rent that we have been presented with.

At this time, moving the business is unfortunately not an option. We have been searching for a potential new home for our production space, however, due to our specific needs, and with Moab’s very tight commercial market, there have been no viable options.

Additionally, as our economy moves through uncertain times, our position as both a manufacturer and retailer is a tenuous one. Like other small businesses, the trade tariffs have had an immediate impact on the cost of our ingredients, with prices rising from 30-60% overnight.

While this has been a difficult decision to make, after sincere thought and consideration, we feel that it is the right one.

We’ll continue to batch products over the next month, and our store will be open regular hours through Saturday, June 28th. We will also be at the Farmer’s Markets in Moab through June and in Palisade, Colorado through September.

Customers can also shop our website until our inventory is gone. We will continue to ship orders and will offer pickup and drop-off options for local customers who place orders on our website.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our customers and supporters, fellow artisans and makers! We have enjoyed getting to know so many of you over the years, and feel honored that our products have been part of your lives. It’s impossible to fully express our deep gratitude for your business and the enthusiasm you’ve shown us. We could not have made this journey without you!
