📢 A Heartfelt Update from Manufactory Collective
To our incredible community and followers:
Today, we’re sharing a bittersweet message. The vision we poured our hearts into for Manufactory Collective—the dream of a collaborative, creative space for innovation—is no more. This is not the outcome we had hoped for, and it’s painful to acknowledge. We wish we hadn’t fallen short of our aspirations, and we know we’ve let down those who believed in us. It’s a difficult reality to face, and it weighs heavily on both of us.
Yet, despite this change, the incredible tenants who took a chance on this space, and whom our community has come to know and love, are still here. They continue to bring their passion, creativity, and positive energy to the Harrisonburg community and beyond. While Nate and I are no longer owners or actively involved, we are deeply proud of them and fully confident they’ll carry forward the spirit of innovation that defines this community.
Thank you for your unwavering support, patience, and belief in this dream. We are humbled by each person who has been part of this journey, and we hope you’ll keep championing the remarkable businesses that call Manufactory Collective home.
With sincere gratitude and all our best,
Debbie & Nate Irwin
