Sarah Thompson and Chris Barker are thanking the residents of Lake Country for keeping Lake Country Coffee House a successful business.
The couple took to Facebook yesterday (March 15) to say farewell as the owners of the cafe.
Sarah and Chris took ownership of the coffee house just a year before COVID-19 took over the world.
The social media post reads:
The last 4 years weren鈥檛 the easiest. Almost a year to the day of taking over, Covid shut our doors. A year later, indoor dining was closed. Masks happened, the world became different, it鈥檚 been a long ride. Although there is so much that we didn鈥檛 get to do that was on our to-do list, we are still very proud of ourselves for being able to keep the 鈥渃offee on鈥� throughout it all.
A few of months back, someone came to us and shared their vision about opening up the space, having live music, comedy nights, community gatherings鈥� It sounded like someone was reading our old business plan to us. Knowing that we were ready to pass the torch, we became excited for someone else to make it all happen.
So today, March 15th, marks our last day at the Lake Country Coffee House as its owners. It鈥檚 bitter-sweet of course, for we will miss a lot about this place. Not only having another home away from home, but all of the amazing staff and the countless regulars that have been so supportive to us in so many ways.
The couple says they鈥檒l continue to help out for a bit and ask the community to support the new owner.
