The school supply store announced its closure on its Facebook page Saturday morning. “It is with heavy and light hearts that we say goodbye,” wrote co-founders Catherine Fafard and Julie St-Onge-Drouin.
“25 years ago, full of dreams and energy, we designed the outline of an adventure that would carry us for a quarter of a century: Ketto,” the entrepreneurs state in the publication.
“The boat has become very large and realigning a liner is a much more complex project than moving a kayak. Difficult project that we will devote the last three years to the end, but we have reached the end. »
By Saturday morning, more than a hundred customers had expressed their appreciation for the store in comments on the Facebook post. “Thank you so much for your beautiful products that accompanied my daughter last year in 4-year-old kindergarten and now in 5-year-old kindergarten,” “What sad news.” “I have always loved your products,” “Thank you very much for your products that brightened my children’s childhood and even my days!” Your products were so unique! » wrote some Internet users.
The company also announced a sale that will take place on its website from September 18th to 20th and in Quebec City on September 23rd.
Ketto Design was founded in 1999 and specializes in bags, school supplies, lunch accessories and illustrated stationery.
