Sweet EMOtion, located at 211 E. Walnut St. in Springfield, Missouri, is closing.
Sweet EMOtion recently announced of their closing on their Facebook page. See the full statement below.
“To our SPRINGFIELD family:
Owning an operating a small business with a super specific niche is difficult, but it’s been what we are about and what we stand for. Doing this all during some of the most difficult times businesses have ever dealt with has been a challenge, but something that’s brought us such joy and appreciation for those who’ve supported us over the years. Making y’all happy, giving you some form of normalcy in life, and having fun in the process is what Sweet EMO has been about since we started at the old walkup window on South St.
We knew we were taking a risk with the direction we were going in, but wanted to go for it and keep with the mentality that we “serve all” and keep pushing to do that no matter what. We educated ourselves on so many allergies/dietary restrictions in order to get to the place we’re currently at and feel so honored to be included with these communities in such a small way.
Rising costs on supplies/ingredients so we can provide these super specific items to the community, increased staffing costs so our family is taken care of, still dealing with so much that was put into the brick and mortar location, and months of slow sales at this location we’ve made the difficult decision to close our Springfield, MO store. It’s something we’ve battled for over 6+ months, but tried to fight as long as we could. It’s so insanely hard out there for small businesses and they all could use support more than ever. This goes for our friends in @brunchbox417 especially so they can continue serving this community in such a necessary way.
December 22nd will be our final day in operation at our SGF location. We will have some slight tweaks in hours as we get closer to the end to accommodate our staff as they transition to new opportunities, but other than that we plan to operate like normal. Going full out with all your favorite treats/baked goods, our returning HOLIDAY DROP
, and truly going out on our terms to send off Springfield right!
We hate goodbyes and want to just say see you later. All the love, always.
– Seth, Jimmy, Katie, Johnny, Paige, Claire, and Molly
P.S. We would love to still serve you if ever visiting in KC.”
