BT’z Ann Arbor #SmallBusinessRelief

Donation protected

Started in 2012, two brothers set out with a vision to start their own business. Becoming one of the longest standing smoke stores in downtown Ann Arbor, BT’z has worked hard to sell exclusive pieces and give our fellow neighbors an experience they remember. We have been proud to serve so many loving and caring customers who have become our family and are extremely fortunate to have served so many people in such a short period of time. We are not just a store but friends and family to many. 

Located on E. Liberty Street, in the heart of downtown, we have listened to our customers to create special events and deals which can be easily accessible to everyone. Awarded as the best business in Ann Arbor in 2012, From our glass art to our wall art, we are a store you simply cannot miss. We offer products such as natural medicine, CBD & kratom. 

We are proud to be in a location to witness firsthand the beautiful people of not only Ann Arbor but around the world due to events such as Hash Bash, the Art Fair, Restaurant week, Midnight madness and more. The costs of being a business owner in downtown Ann Arbor increase year after year and we have been so fortunate to overcome so many adversities. 

However, our year has already started off with a rocky start with unexpected plumbing problems that have already set us back monetarily. With Hash Bash postponed and possibly the Art fair, we are already losing out on some of the biggest sales to keep our store afloat. Currently, due to the COVID-19 situation, we are hurting as business owners to pay our rent, utilities, wholesalers, and workers. As small business owners, we need to be able to take care of our workers especially and continue their income during these awful times. The unexpected costs are unparalleled with no way for us to make an income and make it a safe environment for our workers and customers. Our savings can only help us weather so many storms before we run dry. Contrary to popular belief, our landlord is also not waiving rent or giving us any reduction and thus we are looking for your love and support. 

Thank you so much for supporting our store even if that is with a heartwarming message or smile. If you are unable to donate please share to not only spread awareness for us but for all of us business owners. We hope to see you all at the store for some amazing deals/ events once we are able to safely reopen.

Your support means everything to us and we cannot thank you enough. We hope you, your family and loved ones are able to pass these tough times safely.
