Help The Brine Well Eatery

Because of The COVID-19 pandemic, times have gotten tough.  The pandemic struck right as we hit our 1 year marker.  Anyone who knows about business knows that it takes the average business about 3-5 years to turn a profit, which in our case is a little ways out.  

We have been working hard since April 2019 to serve our community with locally sourced, delicious and house made food.  We have gained a lot of traction and momentum, but unfortunately the world stopped and we had to readjust, as did the rest of the industry.  

We started with a direct pivot to a reduced staff, just myself (Devon) and my brother (Alex) as we are the owners, we put up the tables, and went to takeout, delivery and added contactless options.  

Everything seemed to be pushing daisies as the focus of the community was to “Support Local”, which made us feel incredibly humbled and honored.  But in the grand scheme of things we understand that we aren’t the only ones caught up in this, and there are many other restaurants that need support as well. 

We continue to push forward and try and make a name for ourselves, by supporting our local farmers and local distributors, and we are asking for your help in this ever trying time.

Any funds we receive will go directly to paying some vendors, rent, and insurances that we are struggling with.  

We have been incredibly humbled by everyones support since we opened, and even more so since the pandemic tore up how the world operates.  Any dollar donated is another dollar to help keep us afloat, to provide people with fresh local ingredients and that money will be put right back into the community.
