I don't know if it was ever good for us
in the first place.
When we first did this at the height of COVID,
we had no choices. The last four years have been
pretty tough,
and I think that we've done a great job considering
how tough it was.
New York City is changing their laws for outdoor dining
and requiring participants to start with a new set of
laws that will both have fees,
extra requirements, and significantly also have to take their outdoor
setups down every single year.
We're not going to be continuing this.
Have a very bad era,
a uniquely awful era for restaurants in New York.
It's sad that we have to shut this down because
it's an extension of our business.
Like with this, we can have more people to come
and see it and enjoy and live the experience of
the coffee shop.
So I believe it's just about the money,
like honestly just building this was expensive,
like way expensive. We applied and we want to do
it because as I say it's a good thing for
our business.
But honestly we will prefer just to keep this one
instead of like redo the whole thing from the beginning.
We will try the first year and see how it
goes compared to the money we will get in sales,
the customers, we will just.
Shut it down and we will keep just this small
space and that's it.
