Hello again, friends and family! It is with heavy hearts that we share our latest update. At this point in time, it is extremely uncertain if or when we will be closing our doors.
After our first cry for help you guys really showed up and showed out for us. If it wasn't donations it was reposting, spreading the word, coming in to see us/support us/check on us, providing advice and resources, etc. Every single act of kindness and support was seen and appreciated by us to the umpteenth degree. You all have been the motivation that keeps us going from day 1 of our opening all the way up until now. Those memories will remain with us forever, no matter what happens - thank you for that, from the bottom of our hearts! The donations and support we have received up until this point have helped us to stay open, paid for our machine parts to be replaced, and allowed us to re-stock for the summer (everything we asked for!) Sadly, after just barely making it out of our worst winter season yet, we were hit with the heat waves here in California and our summer was lackluster to say the least. Coupled with inflation on literally everything...it's been incredibly draining.
All along in the background, we have continued our fight to get out of the hole we have found ourselves in and get to a place where we can grow the business instead of constantly being in fear of closure and simply not making ends meet. Our latest endeavor has us working with the county to see if there are funding resources we can take advantage of that would literally save our business because to be frank, we need a miracle at this point.
This post is more of an update than anything else. Any donations we may receive going forward would simply help to keep the lights on and the doors open as long as possible. If you're a regular customer (which most of you are) then you have probably noticed the slow dwindling of available flavors/toppings, etc. It is literally because we don't have the funds to order those products and while it saddens us deeply to disappoint you, our customers, we are doing our absolute best to continue serving as many of you as we are able to for as long as we can.
We will update you as we approach our impending doom or potential salvation....
With so much love,
Ebere & George
