A Break, Giving Back, and Some Love
I don’t know about you all, but I’m burned out; more importantly, my staff is burned out. It’s no secret that 2020 was one of the hardest for restaurants (as well as many other industries), and although I try and remain optimistic, we need a break. We were fortunate enough to have enjoyed average business around the holidays (thank you for your support!) and therefore made the decision to close the shops for a few days in February to thank staff for their tremendous effort during the pandemic and provide each with a legitimate “holiday break.” We will resume regular business hours after the five days of closure and we hope to see your smiling faces as we return rested and relaxed!Stomping Ground will be closed February 1 - February 5Bagel Uprising will be closed February 8 - February 12
February 12 and March 12
In the spirit of taking care of the community and thinking beyond the four walls of our restaurant, in honor of Black History Month and Women’s History Month we are formalizing two giving days where we can give back to a population that is too often overlooked and underserved - Black women and girls. Not only are marginalized populations statistically less likely to have access to quality mental and physical healthcare, they are constantly exposed to the normalization of violence toward other people of color on a daily basis. This is why we chose The Loveland Foundation for our charitable donation; they provide healing through therapy for Black women and girls around the country. Those who believe in therapy as self-care will understand this is a service we wish all had access to, and hopefully with time, we can begin to close the gap.On February 12 and March 12, a percentage of all purchases will go to The Loveland Foundation. We hope you’ll join us in giving to an extraordinary cause.
