After a lot of thought, we’ve made the difficult decision to close our Mariemont location.
This space has meant so much to us and we’re incredibly grateful to the Mariemont community for welcoming us with open arms and showing us so much love over the years, especially during my surgery and recovery last year. That support meant more to us than you know, and it’s something we’ll always carry with us.
We don’t see this as a defeat, but as a stepping stone in Rune’s growth. Businesses evolve, and sometimes that means making difficult decisions about what comes next. We’ve reached a point where our vision for Rune has outgrown what our Mariemont space can accommodate, and we need to put our energy where we can continue to grow, create, and offer more of what we envision for the business.
Between the challenges of staffing this location, the seasonal slowdown, and the demands of growing our Northside location, maintaining both spaces in the way we want to simply isn’t sustainable for us anymore. As difficult as this decision is, we know we need to look ahead and make choices that allow Rune to continue evolving without losing sight of what we’re building.
Our Northside location is thriving, and we’re excited to continue growing there, especially as we expand our food offerings and explore what Rune can become in this next chapter. Please come support us there and try some of our new food options!
We’re so proud of what we built in Mariemont, and we’ll always be thankful for the place Rune has held in this community. To all of our regulars who stopped in, supported us, and became familiar faces we got to chat with day after day, thank you. You made this space feel like so much more than a business.
Closing this chapter is bittersweet, but we’re looking forward to what’s ahead. Thank you, Mariemont, for being part of our story. 💙💙💙💙
