Closed Until Further Notice: Update Added
Good morning friends, family, and our dear customers. We have the unfortunate news that we will have to close the store until further notice. As many of you know, we have weathered many a storm, from the commodities crisis in 2007 to reopening our store in 2010 after closing it in 2009 due to the recession.
We are very tough and resourceful and completely dedicated to making the most delicious baked goodies, but unfortunately it looks as if we may not weather the construction seasons of the light rail being built on University. Traffic has been horrible and we have been counting on all your special orders, and we thank you!!! We have had almost every piece of our equipment break down this summer, and we continue to keep on keeping on. However, the city took our license away yesterday and we cannot open again until it is paid, which is $714 with all the late fees and we are at zero right now. We also have an impending electric bill, which is not going to be paid because we can't open the shop to bake cookies and other bills which are due soon.
We still believe in what we are doing and we have a glimmer hope that something will work out. We also started a Kickstarter project because we believe so strongly in scratch baked goodies, so please, visit our project if you love cookies and consider pledging.
And if you would like to see us bake cookie in the very near future, we also will have Cookie From The Future for sale, which you would be able to redeem once we get our license back.
We love all our friends, family, and customers, and we hope that somehow enough folks will want Cookies From the Future to make this happen.
Update:
We have gotten a call from an anonymous donor who will buy $500 Cookies from the Future if folks can match it and we donate to the cookies to the Emergency Food Shelf Network, which we would love too!!! We have sold $45 so far, if we can get folks to buy $455 worth of cookies from the future, they will match it. How amazing are all of you????????
