The Painted Tree's Closure: Vendors Find New Homes

0:00The painted tree just shut down all its locations across the country out of nowhere, leaving tons of small vendors scrambling after losing huge chunks of their sales. Places like Queen Bee Boutique are jumping in quick, clearing out space to let these folks set up shop and start earning again. Vinders were relying heavy on those spots, with some saying it was 80 to 85% of their yearly income, others around a third. They're getting some inventory back like shirts, but custom setups and displays, total loss, and now they're hustling to move spring style before it sits. Folks are feeling the stress from those wild 48 hours, but the communities buzzing with support, asking where these vendors can land next. Owners like those at Queen Bee saw the news last week, and started making room right away, no hesitation. So far, they've taken in about 10 new vendors, ditching photo ops and rearranging everything to fit more. Other spots like EB and Co are pitching in too, offering metro locations through May for anyone hit by the closures.
