Two years ago today, this image was shared here announcing the opening of The Grove Juice Café. We were excited to begin a new venture, sharing healthy options with our community, & were thrilled to come alongside as a part of their wellness collective. 🌿
Throughout these two years, the juice café has been called “our little happy place”, & truly it has brought so much joy into our lives. We have gained many new friends, relationships which will last for eternity, & for that we are forever grateful! We have felt such love & support from our town of China Grove & you, our incredible customers, who have visited us monthly, weekly (or daily!😉🥤). We’ve collabed with business owners & vendors, participated in numerous events & pop-ups, & shared lots of laughs, smiles, & hugs with all of you!🥰 We’ve also had our share of challenges & tough times along the way (like every small business does!🤪), but it has been an experience that we are so grateful for and would never want to change.💯
Unfortunately, our daily transactions at the café have not been enough to sustain the business operations. For nearly two years we have personally covered the costs as needed & maintained it as long as possible, but we came to a point that we could not see a path forward to profitability, & it was apparent that the business would have to close.
The story of life has many chapters & although we didn’t expect this one to end so soon, we know without a doubt it is time for the next chapter to begin. We are saddened to share this news with you, but our hearts are at peace. God is working in all the details of our life in very special ways, & we know that all He has planned is so very good!🙏🏻🙌🏻
So, dear friends, this is the very last week The Grove Juice Café will be open. We will have limited hours Tuesday, July 23-Friday, July 26, 9am-3pm each day. If you get a chance, please stop by & see us! Grab a smoothie or juice, relax for a moment in the yellow chair, take some pics, & give us a hug!🤗
Thank you for being a part of our journey here. We love you all & are forever grateful for the opportunity we’ve had for the past two years to serve you with JOY!🍋
