Whisk and Bowl, a small market for professional and home bakers in East End Market [Gmap], has closed.
The shop focused on selling hard to find baking and pastry supplies and was originally intended to be online only.
The husband of Karen Manfredi, the shop owner, accepted a job transfer out of state so they will be taking their Whisk and Bowl concept with them.
East End Market staff is currently looking for a new business/concept that will fit in with their vision and existing vendors. People interested in the space are asked to fill out an application HERE detailing their concept.
East End Market has stated that until the right vendor is secured, the space will most likely be used to host a “rotating cadre of pop-up shops”.
Shocker! I walked in there once, and the person working there didn’t say one word to me. No greeting, no nothing. She just sat and stared at me until I was so uncomfortable I left. If you are going to treat customers like that then don’t expect to stay in business.
Hoping Kappo expands!
damn…
🙂
Thanks Jennifer Marvel!
Ok, for everyone panicking without reading the story – Karen’s husband was transferred to North Carolina. They are selling the house and everything.
Her husband was transferred out of state.
Her husband was transferred out of state. Nothing to do with the space.
It’s not, her husband just got a new opportunity out of state.
Second floor location will likely be the demise of this space past and future.
Damn. This was such a cool hip store. Loved her products and concept. Upstairs location didn’t help matters I’m sure.
I hope that is not the beginning of a trend.
Opportunity for Bookmark It to expand?
Oh no!!
