FIRST YEAR OF ENTREPENEURSHIP

Well, after one heck of a first year as a new business owner and entrepreneur (I am the official owner of It’s Arthur’s Fault!™ under my new LLC: Lady Boss Sauce) we are still standing! Wow! Our fans have been WONDERFUL!!! We’re so appreciative of all the ways you have reached out with stories about Arthur, many, many orders and selling out at all of our stores - I am trying to keep up with my Dad’s incredible history of big, bold flavors packed into tiny jars of deliciousness. Making his recipes slowly and meticulously is the key to why his products have always tasted so great - thank you so much for your patience as I try to keep up with demand! Our 2019 has been quite full for this little family; in a beautiful intimate ceremony Annalise & Erik were married in Williston at the end of April followed by a lovely Mini-Moon in Quebec City and Montreal, we had a full kitchen shutdown for six weeks in April & May to repair wind damage from storms and do some much needed repairs to the house, Laurel (Mom) suffered a very painful Rotator Cuff injury and is still in recovery from surgery in May to repair the multiple tears her surgeon discovered, along with moving my little family into a new home along with multiple other big and tiny steps along with way.

Moving Forward

Many things have to change if I’m going to keep this bustling business afloat; I am going to have to discontinue many products as 65+ items is just too many for one person to juggle, a price increase will be coming soon too but simply because Dad changed his prices only twice in his 18 year history of It’s Arthur’s Fault! and it’s well overdue. Additionally, please allow 2-4 weeks for all online orders to ship, except during the holidays. Exciting things are on their way as well with local collaborations and new events! It’s just me now - there is no It’s Arthur’s Fault! team, no fulfillment center, no factory whipping up giant batches of sauces - not yet anyway. Dad always believed good food should take time, not be rushed, and we couldn’t agree more. Thank you so much for your continued support and please feel free to reach out directly via email itsarthursfault@yahoo.com or by calling (802) 899-5433.

Sincerely,

Marikje Shelmandine Lady Boss Sauce, LLC Proud Owner of It’s Arthur’s Fault!™ Sauce
