We need to be more direct about what is happening with Pure Soul.
For years, we have dealt with ongoing setbacks, financial strain, lack of transparency, systems that made operating harder than it should have been, and the kind of deep-pocket dynamics that too often leave small businesses and the community paying the price. Through all of it, we kept showing up, kept investing, and kept fighting for this business.
In this location, we have poured substantial money, labor, time, and heart into building Pure Soul. For a small independent restaurant, that kind of investment is not small, and neither is the cost of starting over somewhere else.
At this point, continuing under these conditions is not sustainable. We are not willing, and not in a position, to continue carrying burdens tied to a building we do not own while still paying rent and CAM charges. No small business tenant should be expected to absorb major building-related costs in that kind of situation.
That is why we are asking for help.
Donations will help cover legal fees to fight this situation and relocation costs so Pure Soul has a real chance to survive this chapter and move forward. This is not about lack of demand. This is not about poor planning. This is about protecting something we have spent years building against deep pockets and what we believe has been unfair and unsustainable treatment, and refusing to lose it without a fight.
If Pure Soul has ever meant something to you, if you believe small businesses deserve a fair chance, or if you simply want to help us through an incredibly difficult season, we would be deeply grateful for your support.
Please donate if you can. If you cannot, sharing this post helps more than you know.
