Dear UMI Customers and Friends
It is with a heavy heart yet profound gratitude that we write these words. For over a decade, you have graced our tables, shared your stories, and turned our humble restaurant into a tapestry of cherished memories. Your loyalty, laughter, and the countless meals we’ve shared together have been the heartbeat of this place.
The decision to close our doors has been agonizing, born not from choice but from circumstances beyond our control. (Car accident hit us insurance company took too long to solved it . and after The chef kevin broken the heel still not recover) As we prepare to say goodbye, our hearts ache not just for the end of an era, but for the absence of your familiar smiles, your weekly routines, and the warmth you brought into this space. You were never just customers—you became family, and parting with that bond leaves us with a profound sense of loss.
Over the past few weeks, so many of you have kindly asked how you might support us during this difficult time. Today, we humbly share that **to sustain our operations, we must now sell or lease our restaurant**. While this decision weighs heavily on our hearts, we are deeply moved by your unwavering care.
If you wish to help, *the greatest gift you could give is to share this message with your network*-whether by passing it along to potential buyers, sharing on social media, or simply mentioning it to friends. Every effort to spread the word brings hope that this space, which holds so many of your life’s milestones, might find new purpose.
From the bottom of our souls, *thank you**. Thank you for trusting us with your celebrations, your quiet moments, and everything in between. Thank you for letting us be part of your lives. Though the lights here may dim, the memories we’ve built with you will forever shine brightly in our hearts.
Please know that each of your faces has left an indelible mark on ours. We will carry you with us, always.
With endless gratitude and bittersweet farewell,
Jill+Kevin +2 Girls
UMI Japanese Cuisine.
