<div>To our beloved community near and far, you may have heard by now of the devasting loss of The Gelateria.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Early in the morning of March 7th, 2025, a fire started in our basement and spread to the café and other parts of the building. While thankfully no one was injured, the damage to the café is extensive and we will have to close for a number of months as we sort through the scope of rebuilding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The loss of our space is heartbreaking, but we are especially grieving the loss of serving our community. Tower Grove and South Grand represent all the wonderful things about our city, and we all went to bed last night expecting a weekend with patio weather and the buzz of coffee, pizza, gelato, and community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Currently, we have been informed by the SBA that we will need to have 15% equity,  instead of the 10% we thought, to get our monster loan funded.  That maths out to $120,000 additional funds that we need to come up with.  Honestly, we don't have it.  We were able to purchase the building and have the 10% equity which is required of existing businesses.    
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many people today are experiencing disruptions in many facets of life, especially in the food and beverage industry, and we are beyond grateful that so many people have reached out to support us when we are all facing tough times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We would love for you to consider supporting us as we look to rebuild. We will see you soon, but not as soon as we wish.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Love,
</div>
<div>Andy, Amanda, &amp; The Gelateria staff
