Question of the day:

How many silly gooses does it take to get a salad bar across town? 😂 3 people and a lot of pixie dust.

Dear wonderful patrons of Mineral Wells,
I’ve sat for a couple days trying to figure out how to say what’s about to be said. “It’s just a sandwich shop, just say it. Tell them. Make the post.” Quite frankly, it’s hard to word it in such a way when it hardly existed.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be moving forward at this time with our soup, salad, and sandwich shop at 226 NE 1st Avenue… If we’re being honest, we’ve exhausted all of our options. As we’ve said in a recent post, we’ve been doing this all ourselves in this 100 year old building and we just can’t seem to get there.

With bad news, comes good news. Well, not the best news, but decent news. We will be moving our all you can eat salad bar to our Catfish Cantina location. It’s not really what we were hoping for but it’ll have to do for now.

We understand the whole reason for this page was to promote and follow our journey to bring you something this town didn’t have. In the midst, we announced the bakery and Catfish Cantina. We’re putting a pin in this little dream of ours for now and hoping we can fully do it in the future perhaps at another location. We’re focusing on one thing at a time.

Whatever happens to 226 NE Oak Avenue, no matter what it turns into, we’ll drive by with our memories and the mindset that we took part in restoring a little piece of Mineral Wells.

Dreams get put on hold but that doesn’t make it any less special or any less valuable. We’re sorry we didn’t provide a great outcome. We love and learn. That’s what makes us human. We’re not afraid of failure, but just happy we tried.

Follow our Catfish Cantina page for updates, and continue following on this page for our bakery. Even though this location will never get opened with the original plan, thank you for supporting us.

-Amanda, Courbin, and Mike❤️

We are working on making some big changes, and are looking to clear out the front of the store merchandise! Stop by and take a look around! This would be a great chance to do some early Christmas shopping or grab a gift for somebody!

We’re starting our hiring process at catfish cantina today! Come on by and talk with us. 😊

We’re excited to meet with y’all today!
Come in anytime between 12pm and 3pm.
WE WILL BE HAVING ANOTHER HIRING EVENT IN A COUPLE WEEKS! Don’t panic if you can’t make this one. 💙
✨Just to add, we know the outside looks ROUGH. It’s getting a makeover in the next week or two! Don’t judge a book by its cover. Along with our remodeled kitchen, bathrooms, and bar, it’ll be the best catfish you’ve ever had. 😏 but maybe we’re just biased about it. 🥰😂

It’s been a busy week! Kiddos going back to school! You deserve a treat! Come snag one. It’s about to be the weekend after all. ❤️

We’ll call this one…. “Nothing good happens after midnight.” 😂

If you saw us struggling with not one, BUT TWO fridges on our sidewalk, no you didn’t. 😅

Tonight’s been an adventure. One of our fridges went out in the bakery so we had to swap one with our sandwich shop. Gotta keep those pre-orders cool. ❄️

Mission accomplished. Life of small business. ❤️
See ya’ll bright and early for a beautiful Friday morning. ☀️🤣
