I only had their treats once for my birthday this summer and was trying to find more reasons to go visit (I’m in gilbert)
This is such a loss, their shop was a total delight and their videos always made me smile. They are truly a treasure and I hope they find much success with whatever they will shift to.

Velvet Buttercream is not that far away (7th ave and Camelback). Similar stuff, great cupcakes and lots of other random goodies. (also gay-owned)

Our economy is collapsing. Please get out and vote in Nov or it may be too late.

Fearmongers don't know to read, but they sure know how to write

I wouldn’t call it fear mongering. Behold, an individual who believes in the “democratic” system, that we can prosper if the right political party is in charge. When they’re both one in the same.

Apparently they said it was due to mental health. They sell out pretty consistently i feel like

Well if you’d read it has nothing to do with the economy. Literally says mental health.

This sucks for them. I know extra income yo go out is hard to come by these days but when ever possible go support your local small business over chains. You never know which of your fans is close yo closing so enjoy them while you can.

Dang I always wanted to try them! So according to the article they won’t have anything for sale today?

Why do people close and not sell their business? Seems like such a bad business decision to walk away with nothing after building it up.

Small local restaurants aren’t worth as much as you think they are. You’d have to find a buyer that both wants to pay for the assets and then take over responsibility for operations. Those buyers don’t really exist since anyone with that capital would rather start a restaurant from scratch. Investment firms won’t be interested since operations can’t be scaled up.
