EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. — A popular bakery and cafe in downtown Edwardsville will close its doors at the end of February.
222 Artisan Bakery and Café announced on social media it will close at the end of February at 222 N. Main St. in Edwardsville, Illinois.
The post said the bakery signed a new lease at its current location, but the landlord "decided to go with a different business."
222 Artisan Bakery and Café said it will reopen in a new location, but has yet to announce where it will be. It said it would also take "several months" to reopen at a new location due to buildout, permits and city inspections.
The bakery and cafe said its biggest concern is its employees following the closure at the end of the month.
"These folks have mortgages, rent, car payment, student loans, everyday things for living. They are the best employees ever and we hurt for them. We wouldn’t be who we are without them," the post said.
