"After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our Montclair Village cafe. In a message posted to the company website, the closure is being called temporary. The Highwire Workers Union website and Instagram accounts allege workers at the Montclair coffee shop were all laid off on March 2, the same deadline workers set for the company to respond to demands addressing harassment, transphobia, favoritism, and retaliation."
"The brewery closed its San Francisco taproom in the Dogpatch in December, citing unsustainable operating costs. The Berkeley location opened approximately two years ago. At the start of March, the Berkeley taproom's Instagram had closed posted in the bio, with no further posts about its shuttering."
"A Newark Korean restaurant, Seoul Mama, has closed. The family-run restaurant announced that due to slow business, they have decided to shutter. The restaurant served bibimbap, tofu stew, and teppanyaki dishes."
