The Wandering Soul in Sharon, Pa., which was founded about three years ago by Dani Johnson and relaunched an expanded version earlier this summer, will close on November 26. The building where the store is located has been sold and will be under new ownership beginning December 1.
In an Instagram post, Johnson observed: "These words are not easy to write. This space has been more than a shop--it has been a gathering place, a heartbeat of creativity, a home for stories and art and connection. I've worked hard to keep its doors open, to keep the light glowing warm in the window for anyone who needed a little magic and comfort."
While the physical space will close, Johnson said the Wandering Soul "is far from finished. There are potions brewing, spells being written, and dreams quietly stirring behind the curtains. I can't wait to share more of what's to come when the time is right. In the meantime, please keep an eye out for sales and discounts as we begin this bittersweet transition."
She also expressed gratitude to the Wandering Soul's community "for your love, your support, and for believing in what this space stood for. You've been part of something that meant the world to me, to the artists, and to the authors who brought their magic to its shelves. The story isn't over--we're just turning a page."
