Last Update :: September 2, 2010
Dear friends,
As you know, we’ve been on a month-to-month lease for the last 3 years due to inevitable construction planned at the Novi Town Center, (NTC.) I’ve always known that at any time, I could receive the “letter.” A big box store is taking over part of the center. There has been no official announcement as to who it is but conjecture is that a Super Walmart will occupy the space that has been our home for 19 years. This is okay. It is business. It will be good for Novi. Even for those of you who don’t agree with Walmart policies know that they’ll bring a new vibrancy to the Novi Town Center. I think everyone can agree that the NTC has needed an update for years. The face lift will be very positive.
Now, back to the “letter.” I – no we, you and my staff have been given our notice. I really, really wanted to be here through the end of the year, as was initially the plan. That is not to be. On September 23, we’ll celebrate our 19th anniversary here! What a great way to go out. Our last day of business will be 9-30-10!
I have been working to negotiate a new restaurant space in the NTC and continue to do so. Unfortunately, because of the earlier than anticipated closing, I won’t have a seamless open/close. If the stars and moon align I will open the next Brady’s in early 2011. Although there is a sadness with the loss of our wonderful bistro that we all know and love, it’s also electrifying to embark on a new adventure that will be a learning experience and also very, very exciting! As we all know, “When one door closes, another opens.”
Tom continues to watch over us and direct me to do what he did best – take care of us all.
I look forward to seeing you often in the next month. Let’s make this a fun, positive ending, for the wonderful time we’ve had over the years. I am blessed to have you along for the journey. Thank you for your friendship and patronage over the years. It means a lot!
Love you all,
Mary
