Comfort Zone Cafe

I write today with a somber feeling in my heart. Our McKinley Mall location is officially closed. I am sure that we will have many people asking why, so I will answer here. Unfortunately, as we have all felt the pinch of the economic down-turn the last couple years, so has mall traffic.  No matter what we tried we could not make this location work and there was no sign of anything changing.

Many members of the McKinley staff have found new homes at our other three locations and we truly hope we will continue to see all of our loyal customers from the mall at the other stores. While we regret having to leave a place that's felt like home for so long, we are going  to make the best of it.

Our location at the Eastern Hills Mall is doing well and we have been enjoying the customers and mall friends we have made. Thankfully, the Eastern Hills Mall actively promotes their stores and is doing everything they can to boost business. They are a great bunch of people to work with! Check them out on facebook along with their website listing store promotions and upcoming events.

At Elmwood, the progress still continues with our expansion... We have all the walls in place, carpeting down, tables and chairs, and now we paint. We are hoping to plan an Open House for the EVA in the beginning of February.

Hamburg is going to get a face-lift soon, which we are VERY excited about. While the new staff is settling into their new homes and Cindy is bouncing from store to store making sure everything runs smoothly, changes will come.

We are planning to do our annual tasting parties in the coming month or two. Either by the end of February or the beginning of March. I will keep you all updated. I hope to see lots of people these again this year!

Looking forward to a plentiful Spring in 2010,

Zenia
