I just want to say thank you to our loyal customers, friends, and especially our employees for all the kindness, support, and concern being shown right now. It truly means more than you know.

I do want to gently remind everyone that I am not the owner, just a manager who cares deeply about this place, the staff, and the people who have supported us over the years. I’m concerned right alongside everyone else, and unfortunately I do not have additional answers or information at this time beyond what has already been made public.

Please continue to keep our employees and everyone affected in your thoughts. We appreciate the patience, understanding, and support from this community while we all wait and hope for more clarity moving forward. ❤️
