Hello Soul mates. I've got some news to report that's not where I'd hoped we'd be a little over a year into opening. We are closed for business as of today. We are working on concluding a sale that will become another restaurant altogether. As soon as I have more details, I'll pass those along. I will say it's an exciting concept that I hope is well received.
GREAT THANKS to all our wonderful customers! We sincerely appreciate your support. We have what I consider really good food and prices but unfortunately, we have had too many setbacks to make this a viable business. More and more small independent restaurants are closing at an alarming pace. If you don't want to continue eating junk fast food, you MUST go out and regularly support local nonchain businesses and push local government to help make it easier and cost effective for local independent businesses to exist.
I for one became frustrated dealing with the red tape, excessive rules and blank eye response when dealing with all the mess small business has to endure.
The franchises are taking over and it's just easier for them.
There is a definite disproportionate burden that could be resolved but chasing the big dogs seems to be the rage now in our soon to be bedroom community.
Lastly thank you to our wonderful staff. You are what makes Southern Soul special. Bless you all that worked with integrity and honesty. For now, we say goodbye.
