If you've ever stepped foot in the warm, welcoming Blue Willow Teaspot, you'd immediately feel a sense of peace, calm, and complete relaxation--the perfect place to meet up with friends, sip amazing direct-sourced teas, work or read.
The other night, however, just one week after a burglary left proprietor Ali Roth without a week's worth of funds, a masked gunman held the woman behind the cash register at gunpoint and demanded she empty the day's earnings. Needless to say, this traumatic experience has necessitated added security measures, and a significant financial hit for Blue Willow.
Unlike large chains, Blue Willow Teaspot is a rare woman-owned small business, and the costly insurance deductible does not cover the losses.
If you could donate a few dollars to help Ali and the Blue Willow family recuperate financially from this alarming incident, your contribution would make a world of difference. And while you're at it, please feel free to leave a message of support for the hosts of this beloved café.
Thank you!
