A Farewell Note from Everyday Cook (Everyday Wines is still Open!)

Hello, everyone. Thanks for your patience. Well, we gave it our best shot but unfortunately, we must close Everyday Cook. However, we would like to stress that Everyday Wines will remain open and, with your support, continue to be successful.

Even though City Council approved us for the license in July (a bit out of the blue), the State Liquor Control says that it may take 4-12 months for the final approval. And, unfortunately, we cannot take the chance that the license would not be approved in 2008.

If we had known that the City Council was going to approve us in July (we had heard August or September at the earliest), we could have made business plans and decisions based on that timeline. But, without a clear date as to when they were going to approve us, we ended lunch and tried to rethink our business without the license.

Additionally, there are costs that we would have to incur and unfortunately, since we do not own the space, it does not make sense to take on more debt for additional building improvements.

We do have kitchen equipment, a beautiful credenza, tables, chairs, lighting, and serving pieces to sell. If you are interested in purchasing any of these items, please email me, Mary Campbell at everyday_wines@yahoo.com or call me at the wine store, 734.827.9463(WINE).

Thanks everyone. We appreciate your support and hope we will see you at Everyday Wines in the future.

Best,
Mary Campbell
