The time has come to say goodbye. 👋 Station Brew will close permanently on Monday 30th September 2024.
We are open from Thursday till Sunday this week so please call by for a last visit if you are around, we would love to see you all. ♥️
It’s been just over seven years since we opened our doors and it’s been quite the journey. 😌
I have so many people to thank who have been at my side at different times throughout this crazy time. Too many to name but most importantly my husband John who launched into this with me in the first place but tragically died suddenly only a few months after we opened. And my wonderful daughter Sophie who picked up the pieces during such grief and held it all together for me with positivity and strength 💪
I’ll just have to say one big thank you to all the staff who have been involved in Station Brew over the years because there are lots of you! 🙏🥳🫶
However, a special mention goes to Ele, who managed our cafe through all the challenges of Covid, and of course, Kate, our current manager who is on maternity leave and who had all our regulars’ orders in her head. 🥰 Many of you will know Eve too, our long term barista and chef who started with us when only 16 and only recently left. And finally Anna, our long term chef and current interim manager, by my side for these last months, unstintingly professional and committed to the end 🙌🏼 😍
I clearly have only got this far by being surrounded by so many strong women! 🫶🏋️♀️🥰🙌
And of course a huge thanks to our wonderful local suppliers-
Dark Woods Coffee, Roger’s Bakery, A Taylor butcher Mossley, McLintock’s Dairy Denshaw, Alimentari di Alberti Greengrocery Uppermill, Teapunks Speciality Teas and Saddleworth Honey.
But finally, and so importantly, THANK YOU to you all, our wonderful, supportive customers. 🙏🙏🙏
Most of you know that Station Brew has been for sale for a while but with the current economic situation and ongoing staffing challenges I’ve made the decision to close up and have more time to focus on the three (about to be four) new little human beings who have appeared in my life since we opened………….besides lots of other things of course. 😍🪂🏖️🌻🏊♀️📚🕺
I know Station Brew will be missed and I know I will miss it and all of you too but life goes on and hopefully the space we have created will be used by someone else with new ideas and energy to develop and move forward with another exciting new venture for everyone to share. 🥳
Thank you all ♥️☕♥️☕
