Bombitas

With 60+ locations across the country, Painted Tree Boutiques has left thousands of small businesses, including ours, facing heartbreak, stress, and uncertainty.

So many of us poured our hard-earned money, time, and everything we had into building something special for our families and our future—only to be completely blindsided. March sales, April sales, and deposits were held, and then bankruptcy was announced after April rent had already been collected. It’s devastating.

What I will hold onto from this experience is the community. I’ve met some of the most creative, resilient, and inspiring small business owners along the way, and my heart is with each of them and their families as we all try to figure out what comes next.

It’s been a week since we found out, and I’m still in shock.

Con más de 60 ubicaciones en todo el país, Painted Tree Boutiques ha dejado a miles de pequeños negocios, incluido el nuestro, enfrentando tristeza, estrés e incertidumbre.

Muchos de nosotros invertimos nuestro dinero ganado con esfuerzo, nuestro tiempo y todo lo que teníamos para construir algo especial para nuestras familias y nuestro futuro, solo para ser tomados por sorpresa. Las ventas de marzo, las ventas de abril y los depósitos fueron retenidos, y después anunciaron bancarrota tras haber cobrado la renta de abril. Es devastador.

Lo que me llevo de esta experiencia es la comunidad. He conocido a algunos de los dueños de negocios más creativos, resilientes e inspiradores en este camino, y mi corazón está con cada uno de ellos y sus familias mientras todos tratamos de encontrar nuestros próximos pasos.

Ha pasado una semana desde que nos enteramos y aún sigo en shock.

Painted Tree’s National Closure has brought a lot of unknowns and some big changes for our business after losing our main Colorado location. While we’ve been figuring out our next steps, something really meaningful came our way.

A reporter from Univision, Laura, reached out because she wanted to highlight the impact the Painted Tree closure has had on so many small businesses and families. During that conversation, she also shared that she connected with our story and the mission behind Bombitas—uplifting and inspiring other Mom’s, Latina’s and entrepreneurs to keep going after their dreams.

She asked us to be part of the story and help represent what so many vendors are feeling right now—the challenges, the emotions, and the reality behind the scenes.

It’s moments like this that remind me to trust the process, even when things don’t make sense. We’re holding onto faith and continuing to move forward.

We’re so grateful for every message, every share, and every bit of support from our community. This isn’t an easy chapter, but we’re not facing it alone ❤️

Painted Tree Boutiques collected April rent from vendors across the country, and then filed Chapter 7 and closed all locations. So many small businesses, families, and dreams were impacted overnight.

As a small, mom-run business, this one hits deep. But if anything, it’s reminding me why I started Bombitas in the first place — for my family, to show my kids what resilience looks like, and to build something that can support not just us, but be part of something meaningful in our community.

We may be small, but we have big dreams. We’re working toward getting Bombitas on the shelves of Colorado grocery stores and into the hands of the local mom-and-pop shops that make our communities so special.

Please keep all the vendors affected in your prayers. So many of us are just trying to make it, and moments like this don’t just impact businesses — they impact families.

To everyone who has supported us, shared us, or believed in us — thank you. It truly means everything.

Please watch our story and help share our journey so we can get Bombitas in front of the right people who can help guide us toward the next step: getting into grocery stores and expanding into the places we’ve been working toward.

We’re going to keep showing up, keep pushing forward, and keep trusting that the right doors will open.

Proudly made right here in Denver, Colorado 🤍

Painted Tree Boutiques closed all 60 stores nationwide, leaving vendors like Kristina Camacho of Bombitas Spice Bombs scrambling to recover merchandise.

Yesterday, everything happened so fast we’re still trying to process it.

Early in the morning, we received an email from Painted Tree Boutiques notifying vendors of immediate store closures and urging us to retrieve our inventory before buildings could be locked. Just like that, we rushed to the Northglenn location and packed everything up.

It’s hard to put into words—going from stocking our shelves just last Friday to wrapping everything in bubble wrap and taking it all down within days.

Right now, we don’t fully know what our next step looks like… but what we do know is that Bombitas isn’t going anywhere.

You can still order our Birria Bombs and Pozole Bombs for shipping or Brighton pickup at www.bombitas.co

Our hearts are truly with all of the small businesses and vendors—here in Colorado and across the country—who are navigating this same sudden loss. This community meant so much to us, and moments like this remind us how important it is to show up for one another.

If you’re able to support us during this time, it truly means everything to us and the other businesses affected—whether that’s placing an order, sharing our page, or simply engaging with our posts. Every bit of support is felt more than you know.

Follow along on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok .co as we figure out what’s next.

We’re going to keep showing up. We’re going to keep working hard. And we’re going to keep our mission alive—helping families bring easy, comforting meals to the table with our Bombitas crockpot recipes.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us.

— The Bombitas Family ❤️
