The Issue

For over 12 years, I have proudly served the Lynn community with the operation of my vape store. It has not only been a source of livelihood for us but also a vital resource for those seeking alternatives to traditional smoking. Our store has consistently adhered to all city laws and regulations, ensuring a safe and lawful environment for our customers.

Recently, the city has threatened to revoke my business license and initiate the closure of my store. This decision comes despite our unwavering compliance with all the requisite rules and regulations. We've meticulously ensured that our business complies with age restrictions, zoning laws, and any other stipulated requirements set forth by the local government.

Shutting down this business will not only put my family's financial stability at risk but also leave our dedicated customers in the Lynn community without their trusted provider. Our store has been more than just a business; it has become a part of the community fabric, supporting local endeavors, and being a source of employment.

This move to dismantle a compliant business is not only unfair but unjustifiable without clear reasoning and communication from city officials. We need transparency and a fair review of this situation, preventing a precipitous closure that affects not just us, but everyone we serve.

I urge the city of Lynn to reconsider this decision and to engage in a constructive dialogue before taking such a drastic action. Please support our fight to keep the business open and operating by signing this petition. Your support is crucial in helping us withstand this challenge and continue to serve the community faithfully.
