A Mountain Fix Closes Retail Location in Deep Creek Lake, MD

MCHENRY, Md. - Jan. 4, 2024 - PRLog -- After founding and running Silvergirl Sterling, a successful wholesale and retail sterling silver jewelry business, Lois Weeks saw all her trade show orders cancel once stores were forced to shut down due to COVID in March. 2020.  Following a move to Garrett County, MD to provide care for her mother, she opened A Mountain Fix gift shop in December 2020 as an alternative business.  Building a store around her jewelry line, in just two short years they were awarded Best Gift Store for Garrett County and have quickly become a customer favorite.  After introducing the "Buddy By The Lake" lifestyle clothing line to Deep Creek they became the national sales leader for the brand.

"We've worked very hard to build a unique collection of the coolest gifts, apparel, gourmet treats and home décor, and customers have really responded to our focus on showcasing local products, artisans and crafters," says owner Lois Weeks.  "After initially discussing a year extension, our landlord informed us our lease would not be renewed."  The shop is working to sell off inventory, furniture and fixtures to both customers and other retail establishments.

"Our customers don't understand why we can't just move, but we are caregivers for my 91-year-old mother and cannot commit to a new 3-year lease.  While we do have an online store that features some of our fan favorites, it will never be a substitute for the amazing shopping experience we have created for both locals and tourists at Deep Creek Lake".

Other retailers interested in products or fixtures (clothing racks, shelving, beverage fridge, glass jewelry showcases) can contact the shop, but would be best served to stop by and see items in person.

"We are looking forward to our next chapter, and encourage fans to continue to follow us on social media for latest news and updates."

Silvergirl Sterling continues to provide a world-class line of sterling jewelry to finer gift shops in the United States and the Caribbean and  continues to be available online at www.BonitaBeachJewelry.com.
