Dear Customer,
Together we have set trends and inspired design the world over. Now, after 28 great years, LIMN will close from December 15 to January 10 as we contemplate the future of design and the renewal of LIMN. Change is often accompanied by growing pains but similarly brings rewards. We are positive that there are aspects of this change that will continue to benefit our loyal customers like you. We will continue to have a smaller San Francisco store at the same location as well as our Sacramento showroom. The basis for our company’s change has been the rapidly shrinking market coupled with our strong sense of design purpose. LIMN will return to its creative roots and it will be a leader again.
We thank you for your understanding during what has been the largest economic downturn for our retail business. With 45,000 square feet of showroom space, we were too large for the market. We did our best to keep LIMN alive and available to our customers, but the overwhelming costs of staying open at our former capacity during such a depression in our industry has caused us to look beyond our traditional mode of operating, and to innovate. We are looking for the brightest future we can. Reducing our size enables us to strengthen our financial ‘well being’ and provide much better service for 2010 onward.
In the meantime, stop by and choose a piece of classic or contemporary design at 50-80% off before December 15 at our 2009 San Francisco Sale. Watch for a whole new LIMN in 2010. We look forward to continuing to serve you.
Sincerely,
Dan Friedlander
Owner, LIMN Furniture
