Among other things, the letter said that the business’ decision was not made lighlty, citing many challenges including “three years of disruptive construction across the street, a global pandemic, endless maintenance issues, and increasing crime.”
The letter went on to say: “Over the past six months, we have tirelessly explored every avenue to ensure the continuation of Radici at our current location.
