We speculated, we pondred, we assumed, we questioned, we fretted, we hoped… is the Vegan Spot closing or what? Our cries for information have been responded to in the comments section of my Vegan Twinkies post by one of the owners of the Vegan Spot. Here’s what she tells us:
hey guys,
i just wanted to clear something up about the vegan spot. i am co-owner of the place, and after months of hard work trying to get it up and going, i have decided to leave to pursue other opportunities. the vegan spot was my first restaurant, and definately a learning experience as well as a labor of love for me. ultimately, i just felt overwhelmed with working so much there, and that i was letting other important opportunities pass me by. my partner was much too busy with her other endeavors to buy me out and take over, so we decided to sell the place. we are selling the restaurant as a whole, recipes and full training included. that way, it can continue to be the vegan spot and to bring you those reubens and twinkies that you seem to love so much. :) i also want to thank all of you for your wonderful reviews and support. that is the sole reason i went into the restaurant business…to feed people good vegan food, and watch them smile. feeding people spreads happiness.
p.s. hopefully, you’ll all love my next place just as much, (maybe more??)
i’ll reveal more details of my future pursuits as they unfold. ;) until then, rest assure that the vegan spot isn’t going away anytime soon….Comment by s. rad
So there you have it, straight from the source. We’re left to wonder just how easy or difficult it will be a for a new owner to come in and maintain the same level of awesomeness, but we’re certainly fans and rooting for the best… both for The Vegan Spot and for whatever either of these groovy vegan ladies do next. Thanks for stopping by to fill us in s.rad, I have just one request… please keep feeding us!
