A cautionary tale for local entrepreneurs:

Protect your vision and your assets. I am sharing this to warn our local business community about deceptive practices happening right here.

Recently, I shared a unique business concept for an event venue with someone I believed was on the same page.Unfortunately, I learned a hard lesson about fast-talkers who capitalize on people trying to build something genuine.

I was met with pressure without paperwork and pressure to move forward on the space for lease, while dodging requests to put partnership stakes in writing.

I was left with the verbal agreement constantly shifting, with insane gaslighting until I was left with zero guarantees, no asset protection, and an unfair fraction of potential sales.

The potential interest became hostile when asked for clear conversations, then going behind my back to the landlord to override my position, even when I made it clear that they wanted to deal with me directly.

Thankfully, my lease remains intact while I sort this out. Please be incredibly cautious with who you trust with your ideas and assets. If an agreement is constantly talked around in circles and never put on paper, walk away.

I have had many requests dir the use of the space, please message me if you know someone either interested in partnering up or to purchase the existing assets and lease take over. The landlords are gems.

After much reflection, I have made the most difficult decision to close Brews and Blues as of today.

This has been one of the hardest decisions of my life. I have poured my heart, my time, my family's resources, and every ounce of determination into creating a place where people could gather over good food, live music, and community.

While we have shared so many wonderful moments together, the financial realities of operating this business have become more than I can sustainably overcome. There have been so many factors that have led to this point.

Sometimes, despite giving something everything you have, it still isn't enough to make it viable.

To everyone who walked through our doors, played our stage, worked alongside me, volunteered, encouraged me, or simply believed in this dream-thank you.

Closing this chapter is heartbreaking, but I know that it is the right decision for my health, my son and my future. I leave with immense gratitude for the community that embraced Brews and Blues from the start.

Right now, my focus is on taking care of myself and my son, as we navigate this transition. Thank you for your kindness, understanding and grace during this time.

A HUGE thank you and my Carp family for the support and being part of this journey.

If you are interested in the future of the space or know someone who may be interested in taking over the restaurant, please reach out.

Good morning, oh and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
