Big Changes! Same Heart!
To our amazing friends, families and supporters- thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts for being a part of the 57 Burketon Station journey. Running Burketon Station was an incredible experience, filled with great memories, delicious meals and the joy of serving this wonderful community. Your unwavering support meant everything to us.
* And, on a personal note, I’ll always be grateful for each and every one of you who walked through the doors (especially my Wednesday morning crew, you know who you are 😉). I miss you and think of you often! XO Lisa
The kitchen on 57 was originally used for catering events and only began to serve the community in response to the devastating restaurant fire in Burketon. Local folks were looking for a place to go, and after several inquiries, we responded by offering a place to relax and have something to eat. We sourced our products locally and offered simple, fresh food and a really good cup of coffee!
Although the kitchen was approved to prepare food, we knew we needed to get additional approvals to be compliant and to continue to serve our families. As we pursued the proper channels, we were met with resistance and inflexibility from the planning department of the area. Despite our best efforts to uphold our commitment to serve the community, these circumstances prevented us from moving forward and we had no choice but to close permanently. As upsetting as this is, we consider ourselves so fortunate to have had the honour of meeting and spending time with everyone who came into the Station.
Now, it’s time for a new chapter! This page will soon transform into a space for our next adventure – custom apparel, Direct-To-Film transfers and embroidery in the community of Clarington! Although the focus has shifted, the passion, dedication and love for creating something special remains the same.
We’d love for you to stick around and follow this new journey! Whether you need custom apparel, DTF transfers or just want to see what’s next, we would love to have your continued support.
Thank you for everything- you made every day at 57, unforgettable. We can’t wait to share what’s ahead!
