Bakersfield, our doors at dot and ott are permanently closed, as of today, Tuesday September 14. Yes, again.
We thank you, all who supported us, and our staff who showed up during a time when staffing was so difficult. This is not a one-reason decision. It was a culmination of many things- COVID, staffing (though we need to give a huge thank you to our staff that was with us up until today), funding, shut-downs, numbers, etc. It ultimately comes down to not wanting to fight a constant uphill battle. This industry is not for us, but we put our all into it and are proud as to how it evolved. We will go out thankful with the opportunities, thankful for those in the community who supported us, and thankful for those who wrote nice reviews. Thank you again. With love, the Blackwells
