To our followers and friends...
Our attempt to offer a food business accelerator, in the form of a shared restaurant space, to small businesses found many successes but could not overcome several obstacles. With that said, the doors of Gather, A Culinary Collective will be closed as of February 28th.
Pensacola Catering & Sage In Bloom's dinner still will be held on Monday, February 16th ,as well as, Culinary Ministries event on Monday, February 23rd.
We want to thank those who supported each individual business that operated inside our walls, as well as the owner-operators themselves. It was nothing short of a blessing to witness.
"We started where we were, with what we had, and did what we could." (Adapted quote, Teddy Roosevelt). However, it just wasn’t enough to sustain, and that’s ok because much was gleaned from this experience.
We are especially grateful to BAM Coffee and staff, along with its owners, Staci and Matt. They were the anchor business at Gather, A Culinary Collective who devoted many hours, 7 days a week, serving the Westside community, not only the best beverages and food, but cheerful smiles, words of encouragement, and listening ears. Loyal to growing BAM Coffee at Gather, Staci and Matt continued to support our mission to provide a restaurant presence in the Warrington and NAS Pensacola communities. We ask that you follow their social media posts for updates.
