❤️ A Heartfelt “Merci”, Evanston
When we shared what happened to our storefront this past weekend, we simply wanted to express the frustration and concern we were feeling as a small business.
**We never expected the incredible response that followed.**
The hundreds of messages, comments, words of encouragement, and expressions of love and support from our community have truly touched us. After so many years of being part of Evanston, it reminded us why we chose to build our business here in the first place.
Running a small independent business is not always easy. There are good days and difficult ones. But knowing that so many people care about Patisserie Coralie, our team, and what we bring to downtown Evanston means more to us than we can possibly express.
To everyone who commented, reached out, stopped by, shared our post, or simply offered a kind word:
**Thank you. Truly. ❤️**
You turned a very discouraging moment into an incredible reminder of what community really means.
We are proud to be part of Evanston, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have so many of you standing behind us.
**With love and gratitude,
Pascal & the entire Patisserie Coralie team** 🇫🇷❤️
P.S. To everyone who kindly suggested security cameras — thank you for looking out for us. We do have security cameras in place and have had them for some time. We truly appreciate all of the suggestions, concern, and support.
