We're Moving!
Past Tense has moved to a new, larger space in Mt. Pleasant. We have moved just a half-block away to the garage space behind Ellē. Formerly storage and office space for Old School Hardware, the new Past Tense features exposed brick walls, large windows that open, and an immense amount of possibility. We also expect it to be just a little bit quieter than our original location.
For more than a decade, we have supported and served this community. COVID has now fundamentally changed the small business landscape. We need your help to ensure we can continue to do so for this community for years to come. Developing a new Past Tense will require your support. The new space necessitates a full build-out.
Through grants and your generous support—thank you!—we are already more than halfway to our fundraising goal. We hope you'll consider donating and are welcome to contribute any amount you would like through GoFundMe. We are also introducing this patronage program. Below is our selection of thank you gifts - make a selection that matches your giving level.
A Past Tense Tee or Tank.
After you become a Down Dog supporter, please email Kelly to specify shirt or tank size and to arrange pick up or drop off. Drop off available in Mt. Pleasant. .
