A little update…
I had hoped to be opening up my dining room very soon, but unfortunately we’ve hit a delay with the new front doors.
I placed the order for the doors several months ago and gave all of the specifications that were required. I found out today that although my order had been received, it was never actually processed. The gentleman I had been working with acknowledged that he had read everything and simply forgot to get the order started.
The doors are now officially on order, but we’re looking at approximately a 6–7 week turnaround, which puts us into October.
Unfortunately, these aren’t something I can just work around. In order to open for dine-in service, the front doors have to meet fire code. They must swing OUTWARD and be able to PUSH OPEN FROM THE INSIDE so that, in an emergency, people can exit the building quickly and safely. The doors that are currently there do not meet those requirements, so they have to be replaced before I can open the dining room.
In the meantime, Ashley B’s isn’t going anywhere! I’ll continue doing our lunches, dinners, grab-and-go items, desserts and catering just like I have been. We’ll just have to wait a little longer than I had hoped to finally welcome everyone inside to sit down and eat. 👩🏻🍳 🫶🏻
