Marin did not give an exact reason for the closure but said the business has been experiencing financial challenges since it opened up at 3421 S. Orange Ave. in November 2019.

“It was with sheer grit, determination and a commitment to share our concept with our community that we have continued on for the past 4 years,” the post read.

Marin concluded the post by encouraging people to spend their money in their community.

“If you have the money to spend, spend it locally. Spend it with a small creative business that is filling a void and building upon our (community’s) creative fabric. Orlando will continue to grow into a more cultured place to live and raise a family if we all bolster niche businesses,” the post read.
