Dear Simply Supper Family,
After nearly 20 years of offering our signature You Assemble sessions, we have made the very difficult decision to discontinue our weekly You Assemble sessions, effective October 1, 2026.
Before the in-person shutdown in 2020, our You Assemble sessions were running up to five days a week and regularly reaching approximately 70% capacity and the largest part of our business model. When we brought the sessions back in 2022, we were hopeful that we could rebuild and grow this part of our business to those previous levels, we even moved to a bigger location in our south store with this hope.
We have worked hard over the past few years to revitalize the program, but unfortunately, overall business levels have continued to shift, and we have not seen the participation needed to make the weekly sessions sustainable.
In recent years, we have often struggled to fill even one session per week. Along with the changing business levels, the frequent cancelling and rescheduling of sessions creates uncertainty for our team and their schedules, while the setup, labour, and food costs associated with running the sessions continue regardless of attendance.
After carefully looking at where our business is today and where we need to focus our energy moving forward, we have made the difficult decision that continuing weekly You Assemble sessions is no longer the right business decision for us.
We will still consider private parties and larger corporate bookings, so please continue to reach out to us if you are interested in organizing a private or group experience. We would love to continue creating those opportunities when we can.
