It's been one hell of a ride but it’s time to turn in, Dump City Dumplings will be closing at the end of August.
We've been so proud to serve y’all since 2010, (17 freaking years!!!!!) and we've had so, so many incredible times meeting you and getting to share your company while you enjoyed some steamy goodness. We managed to keep our boat afloat through some pretty crazy moments; the roller coaster of Covid, shoveling our downtown corner after beastly snow storms (kinda miss those?), a food cart that tried to steal both that spot and our dumpling customers(!), encroaching forest fires that added a new level of AQI severity to the scale, a complete totality eclipse AND our own attempts at learning how to run a business, all while having a lot of fun serving you and working with some incredible people. We never would have gotten anywhere near this far without such incredible support from such an incredible community.
Our last day open to the public will be August 31st and we'll have more news soon about how we’re gonna send it off right with one hell of a shindig.
There's a lot more we could say about all the good times, the silver linings of some of the bad ones and the handful of absolute FUBARs, and maybe some of those stories can find their way out with time, but for now we want to express an incredible abundance of gratitude. We are so very grateful for the way so many of you have made us a part of your world. It has been hard work these nearly two decades, work that cost our bodies and our hearts alike, work that didn't always turn out the way we hoped, but work that was worth it for a chance to be part of this wonderful, vibrant and occasionally very silly town.
Speaking directly to our comrades in the service industry; you all are beyond incredible and its been positively turnt’ getting to work beside y’all for nearly two decades. Be good to each other and take care of yourselves, this town needs you more than it recognizes.
It's been a privilege to show up every day and try to make this work for more than 17 years, and while we are sad that it is time for that to end, the countless joys of that nearly two decades serving you all is a profound testament to the beauty of this community and one we will not soon forget.
We don’t know what comes next long term, but in the short term keep an eye out for party announcements and equipment sales.
It sure has been one hell of a ride,
All the love
Team Dump City
