Café Europa is Closed

Rich Girard — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 23:56:50 +0000

I would like to thank my staff and loyal customers who helped turn my dream into a reality, albeit short lived

It is with considerable anguish and deep consideration that I’ve come to this decision.

The service industry is my passion and I plan to continue to pursue my passion where ever it takes me. Providing local seasonal fresh ingredients is my mantra and I plan to continue with this pursuit wherever it takes me. The importance or local independently owned business cannot be overlooked; we all need to keep this on the top of our mind when choosing how to spend our hard earned money this holiday season and beyond. Supporting local business who sell local product is a key element need to help boost our local economy.

I would like to thank my staff and my loyal customers; I already miss the opportunity to serve you.
