Peter Teevan:

I want to thank each and every one of you who came and tried our fare...We hope that we opened your eyes to what is possible and simplified the complex issues making everyday food healthy in the true sense. We have made the decision to close this location due to many factors which Covid was the main reason. We are moving on to the next phase of impact and our plight to make a difference.

Vegan food, cheesesteaks, meats, and other types of food...nothing seems to be working at this place and I would love to know why? What's your opinion? What would be a good fit for this average-sized building? & Why does nothing ever work there? Is this something I should get used to?

At the end of the day, I really hate seeing this building have zero life. I am very optimistic about the future...
