Adieu, Moonstruck

Apparently, Moonstruck Cafe on the corner of Green and Wright in Champaign closed its doors permanently yesterday. I absolutely loved that place and had no idea that it was going to close. I am so incredibly disappointed. If you're wondering why they did it, here is the press release:

-------------------------------------------------------------
To our customers:

Moonstruck Chocolate Co. recently announced it had made the difficult decision to close its nine Moonstruck Chocolate Cafés outside of the Portland-area as part of an effort to focus its retail business here in the Pacific Northwest. While we no longer will be serving those markets through our café locations, our chocolates remain available nationally through our wholesale customers. Customers can also find our complete line of year-round and seasonal chocolates here on our website, moonstruckchocolate.com.

If you possess a Moonstruck Chocolate Café gift card and had planned on redeeming it at a café that has now closed, we want to assure you we will honor any outstanding monetary value remaining on your card. To redeem, simply call 1-800-557-MOON and speak with one of our customer service professionals.

We remain committed to producing handcrafted artisan chocolates of the highest quality, and we look forward to continuing to offer you exciting new concepts in chocolate in the near future. We thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
Moonstruck Chocolate Co.

So, Moonstruck, if this is the end, I must say Adieu. I will be extremely sad to see you go. You've provided some very good dates and many delicious Brown Cow shakes. You will always live on in my memories.
