Sometimes in life the hardest decisions you have to make are often the saddest but also the most obvious. We are extremely sad to be at this point where we are faced with doing exactly that.
We had a dream to bring Cranbrook something unique that we see working around the country we have long traveled in search of ideas and a dream. Our dream was a specialty Mom and Pop Dessert and Drink shop and Cafe that we could build up with some really great staff and some good old blood, sweat, and tears. The blood and sweat poured out for over two awesome years serving the public, making smiles, supporting our local economy with multiple staff members all born and raised in Cranbrook just like us.
The last 6 months has seen an economic downturn that unfortunately has caused an overwhelming lack of community support for a lot of small business owners that seems to be never ending in a province that has its people struggling to make ends meet. We are no different. This is where the tears have been most prevalent in trying to make it work, trying to pay our staff, our rent, our bills, and ourselves in order to stay here where we've been our entire lives.
With that said, our decision did not come easily, but in the end it is the most obvious.
As of December 1st we will regretfully be closing our doors and preparing for our next chapter in life. To all of our loyal staff, customers, friends, and family, we are sorry we couldn't make it work here. We love you all so much and we will miss you even more. We really loved doing this and that is what hurts us the most. Keep an eye out for us in the future as we still have those big dreams in our heads.
If you have gift cards or loyalty cards we encourage you to come use them up by the end of the month. If you want to show us some love and come support us on our way out we could really use some community love right now and would be forever grateful.
I've shed enough tears for one day though and have to sadly say goodbye. We love you all and we will miss all the smiles we make happen everyday in our little Cafe!!
Much love from the staff and owners at Pure Leaf Bubble Cafe. Take care and please go support a small business today, they all really need it.
