SPoT Coffee and Other Local Eateries Close

The trend of beloved local businesses closing continues, with SPoT Coffee in Rochester shutting down its East Avenue location after 25 years due to declining sales and recent health code violations, while also being notable for its unionization efforts. The closure highlights challenges in the restaurant industry as customer habits shift post-pandemic. Meanwhile, RF's Corner Grill in Lexington will also close after six years, with plans to integrate some features into another restaurant, Bubba’s Biscuit. Additionally, SAN Cafe and Market in St. Louis is closing, attributing its decision to a significant drop in sales following the departure of other local businesses. The Old Toad, a British-style pub in Rochester, is listed for sale, with hopes of preserving its traditions under new ownership.
