Help reopen East Aurora village cafe
We probably is the smallest cafe in the town , me and my husband build this little casual cafe in East Aurora,NY . April ,2019 by our hand . My husband helped build a full kitchen inside a small shop in a historic downtown building, I Helped design the interior . We used our own savings and a small business loan of $25,000 started our village cafe. Our goal is providing a health, tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner. We did our own bakery , for sandwiches, toast, and dessert. My husband is a chef for more than 25 years, he want show people what is the real food, you could get real health food in our cafe without chemicals, instead of head to grocery store buy preserved food, just because it last long time. We really want people know and choose The right choice Of what they buy and what they eat. There are too many unhealthy food sold in Big grocery store and we offer low and affordable price too.
but we are too small, we don’t have a parking lot front of us, we don’t have a outdoor dining, all these reasons keeped a lot of people Away. And This pandemic Coming totally drived more customers away for indoor dining.
with business down 70%, we really don’t know what to do after SBA Turned us down for ppp loan , (not enough employees) mostlyjust me and my husband work there 6 days a week . Now we are Down to 3 days , cause other 4 days no business. Also with our house have mold problems we need fix , our money is running out quick . We are the smallest business but we could not get a forgivable loan like many other companies already got , we Are the one been left behind. That’s why we are here today . We Don’t want to but have no choice. Also we reached our insurance company for insurance we been paid so long for high price the answer is “no “ for us. Without any found just restaurant ‘s little income we are behind for everything . We need money pay house mortgage, restaurant rent ,all the bills from the restaurant and home , also Have 3 children to raise.
i don’t know how much more we could say ,we just very tired now by physically and mentally.
thank you for reading this . We hope there is a hope for us.
