We the management and employees of LOCAL RICHMOND JUICE BAR are truly heartbroken to inform you that we have collectively decided we will not be reopening this shop under the current extenuating circumstances. We are not aligned with the incoming new ownership of this business in any way, shape, or form. We refuse to perform labor for convicted criminals who refused to disclose their criminal status upon arrival, will not acknowledge the staff's discovery of this information, and have not attempted to take any type of accountability for the harm done in this otherwise harmonious work place. Additionally, we will not perform labor for anyone willing to install recording devices and surveil this workplace without our explicit consent. This was a devastating but necessary conclusion that we have come to together. It has been an absolute joy to serve Richmond for the last (almost) nine years. Thank you for everything. We love you.

The employees who work here are what makes LOCAL RICHMOND JUICE BAR the place that you have grown to cherish. Funds raised will be used to provide at least 2 weeks pay for every employee (all 10 of us) who have abruptly lost employment and a beloved workplace. Divided funds will be paid out directly via check. We appreciate any contribution you are able to make, even if that is just words of encouragement <3
