Michael & Buddha are incredibly important to me. Theyโre generous in ways most people never see because theyโre humble & theyโre an essential thread in the fabric of our community.
I know times are tough for everyone but Iโm asking you, my people, to help them by liking the original post or even sharing it so it can gain traction. Because visibility is key & itโs something I struggle with too. The algorithm does โผ๏ธ NOT โผ๏ธ always work in our favor so even liking & sharing their post will be helpful.
If you feel inclined & are able theyโve also shared a gofundme. Or! You can shop on their website & order some gear for yourself or the musician in your life. They also have vinyl in store if thatโs your thing!! ๐ฅฐ
Like. Follow. Share. Itโs not easy to ask for help but they are. So we need to show up for them in the ways that we can ๐
Earlier this year I did something that was very difficult for meโI asked for help. And you showed up.
I debated whether I should say anything again because so many of you already helped us earlier this year. I donโt ever want your generosity to feel taken for granted.
But Iโve also realized that pretending everything is fine doesnโt help an independent business survive.
The truth is, running a small guitar shop in 2026 is hard. Really hard. And while your support helped us get through a very difficult beginning to the year, we still need people walking through the door, buying guitars, trading gear, telling their friends about us and choosing a small local shop when they have the option.
I love this place. Iโm proud of what weโve built here. And I want Heyday to be part of Winston-Salem for a many more years.
So Iโm asking againโbut this time Iโm not simply asking for money. Iโm asking you to participate.
Come see us. Buy something. Trade something. Share a post. Tell a friend. Leave us a review. Even just stop in and see whatโs changed.
Small businesses donโt survive because thousands of anonymous people shop there once. They survive because a community decides theyโre worth keeping.
If Heyday is one of those places for you, we could really use you right now.

For those who have asked how they can help beyond shopping with us, Iโll include our GoFundMe link below. Thereโs absolutely no expectationโsharing this post, stopping by the shop, or telling a friend about Heyday means just as much to us.
