Hi, my name is Stacey and I am Willie’s Wife. As you all know, Willie’s is closed till we find a new home. Willie and Richard are beyond devastated and I am reaching out to see if anyone can help. This Tuesday an inspector from the City of St. Louis came by irate, didn’t give any information as to what my husband needed to do, but simply kept over-talking him and saying they had no occupancy and were operating illegally. Yet, everytime he called the city, there was a valid occupancy there. Well, after the inspector places a condemnation on the building, it was finally explained that the landlord closed his business which voided their occupancy as an incubator kitchen. The landlord was apparently notified in May, an inspection rescheduled for July, and the landlord did not act. The building was placed under contract in June and the landlord said nothing until late June after the neighborhood would not approve of a liquor license. Now, July 29th, the new owners show up and say they have to go by Monday, voiding a 30 day notice. Inspector comes back that Tuesday, again without letting them know what is going on, tells them they are operating illegally and threatens to shut them down. He called the city and all they see is that the occupancy is valid. Thursday morning, inspector comes and condemns the building. For them to work so hard and to do everything right, and for it to be taken from them is very disheartening. So now, we have lost sales from today and the rest of the month, business loans, wages, and product and have to find a new home. So if you can help in anyway, we would appreciate it!
