Almost one year ago was the first day of Atu being open… and today, almost a year later… I have to give you the sad news about its closure. This has been both, the most amazing and at the same time the saddest thing I have done, a part of me is gone with Atu.
I loved being here, created memories and met people that will never be forgotten.
First of all, I have to thank the person that without her none of this would have ever been possible, my mom, for helping me out so much throughout this journey from the beginning to the end with Atu for more than a year non stop.
Secondly, I want to thank Laura, for being the most regular customer. Again, from the very beginning to the end helping me to keep the business going and the overall continuous support throughout this last year.
Finally, thanks to everyone who came to Atu, specially to those who were a regular customer here and helped me through this journey to try to make it work, without you guys this could have not lasted for a year.
It’s unbelievable the amount of incredible people I met being here and I’m so grateful for it. We shared so many chats, laughs, stories and memories together that will always remain there!
It seems that it was yesterday since all this started. Still remember the first person who came to talk to me when I was putting the sign up for the shop, Steven. My first customers, James and Nicola. My last one, Lucy. 😢
Even though this was my dream job and fully knowing that I’ll never be happier elsewhere, I had to let it go. I came into this town without knowing a single person and felt always very welcomed by all of you, thank you for making my stay here something very memorable and that I loved so much. I hope that you have enjoyed eating here, gathering with friends&family and keep some really good memories of this place with you.
The reasons for the closure are the rise of costs and a decrease in sales. Unfortunately, these two things combined made it impossible to continue.
Atu has now closed down for good and no longer exists😢😔
Thank you for everything ❤️
