One Montague St. resident told the Eagle she learned from a store manager that Perelandra "never fully recovered after the pandemic, they are not moving to another location and their last day open is on Sunday." This news highlights the lasting impact of the pandemic on local businesses, particularly health food stores that cater to a niche market.
Heights resident Andrew Porter wrote on BHB that while Perelandra's "prices have always been high, the selection has always been outstanding." This statement underscores the store's commitment to quality, even as it struggled with profitability.
A commenter named Banet noted that although Perelandra did not lose its lease, its rent went up considerably, making it unprofitable to stay open. This situation illustrates how rising costs can force beloved local businesses to close, despite their loyal customer base.
Resident Cara Sadownick expressed her dismay, stating, "That would be devastating. There's no place else like it nearby." This quote reflects the emotional connection the community has to Perelandra and highlights the void its closure will create.
