Dangit... RIP: Davis Sq Boloco

[usernamenumber]

Sadness. My preferred location for decent food, free wifi and copious numbers of power outlets is closing down. Something about that location is cursed. =:(

Fwiw, I plan on being at their going-away shindig tonight.

---------------------
Hi all,

We're having a farewell party tomorrow night (Monday, that is) from 6-8pm.

I can relay details in person if you're interested at that time. Trust me that nothing saddens me and the team more than having to leave Davis.

Kids eat free tomorrow [Monday] evening, and everyone else pays $3 for burritos and smoothies. And maybe we'll even pop a bottle of bubblies or two :)

We've met some wonderful people at Davis, and while we're sad that it didn't work out (our first in nearly 12 years) we enjoyed the time we were here.

Cheers,

John S. Pepper
CEO and Co-Founder

It was a nice place, but there are some fairly local Bolocos, and it was competing with Anna's (two?) and other similar places.

Yeah, local burrito saturation was cited (by random people on lj, at least) as the most likely cause of death.

As well as less-convenient location, as there were a few other burrito places closer to the Square proper.

I'm sad it's going, just because I like the guy who runs it. I like how he interacts with the public (because I mean dude...he has an LJ account.)
