To the Lovin’ Spoonfuls Family,
We at Govinda’s were saddened to hear about the challenges you are currently facing. We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt sympathy and, more importantly, our deep appreciation for everything you have brought to the Tucson vegan community over the years.
Although we are technically “competitors,” the truth is that we have always seen you as part of the same extended family, people working toward a shared mission of offering compassionate, plant-based food to the community. Your presence has helped nourish not just bodies, but also the spirit of conscious living in our city.
In fact, many of our staff regularly dine at Lovin’ Spoonfuls, especially when Govinda’s is closed, and sometimes even when we are open! Just today, a few of our team members gathered there to celebrate a birthday, enjoying your food and the welcoming atmosphere you’ve created. Moments like that are a reminder that what you’ve built is more than just a restaurant, it’s a place of connection and joy.
Please know that you are valued, respected, and appreciated. Your work has made a real difference in people’s lives, including our own team. We stand with you in this difficult time and sincerely hope that a way forward opens for you.
With respect and support,
The Govinda’s Team
