It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Happy Hangout is closed for good. This decision was not taken lightly at all, and all of us here at Happy Hangout are devastated. I know this is something that our community desperately needed, and I willingly answered the call. I put in 2 years of dreaming and planning pre-pandemic, fought for a year to get it open amidst post-shutdown supply chain issues, and put my blood, sweat, and tears into making this space for all of you. Ultimately, attendance and bookings weren't enough to keep the business running in an economy where rents are rising, prices are high, and families are struggling.
Over the last 3 years we have celebrated over 1,000 birthday parties and welcomed tens of thousands of tiny friends to play. It has been a joy and an honor watching babies grow up, people grow their families, celebrate their milestones, and make new friends. That is something that no one can ever take away from us.
Please support your locally-owned businesses. It's hard out there. The local businesses are run by your neighbors who support your schools, build into your communities, and care about your hometown as much as you do. ❤️
Thanks for the memories,
Tricia
