A sweet move leaves Lemons & Limes looking for a new owner
Chestnut Hill, PA – When Gina Smith bought Lemons & Limes, the small, tidy gift shop at 8133 Germantown Ave. three years ago, it was the perfect fit.
“I knew I never wanted to work for someone else,” she told the Local. “I always wanted to own a business like this. I love what I do.”
But recently, Gina’s husband Nick Smith, was offered a great new job in Austin Texas. So the family is going to move and Gina has decided to sell her store.
Smith, a Dallas native said the move is not without irony.
“I always told my husband that I wouldn’t move back to Texas unless it was to Austin,” she said. She’s excited about the move and the opportunity but acknowledged that it’s hard to part with the business into which she’s put so much of herself.
“This is the hardest part,” she said about moving. “I’ve been busy cleaning our house and getting it ready to be sold. But you can leave a house clean with a realtor. I can’t do this with the business. This is a good business, one that makes money and I hate having to leave it when I know how good it is.”
