It is with great sadness that we are forced to close Tastebuds Fresh Marketplace, effective, Thursday January 15, 2015. Though we have had realized our dream of opening and operating Tastebuds, the reality was that we could not garner the customer base over the last ten months to assure its continued success.
We wish to thank our loyal customers who have given us continual support and encouragement over these past months. We truly hope that you have enjoyed the foods and services we provided. They came, genuinely, from the heart.
Going forward, please always try to support your local "mom and pop" stores. They are the backbone of your community and deliver heart felt value. Shop and Support Local, you'll never be sorry.

What message is there for us from the recent closures of small business (Artistry Kitchen, Rick's and now Tastebuds)?
Business gets a tally everyday on how well they do. How many dollars come in the door versus what it costs them to provide the goods/services they offer to us. We need to remember that we vote for a business by spending our money there. It is a collaborative effort. The business also needs to deliver goods/services for a price that we are willing to pay. Our vote (via the dollars we spend) either tells them they will stay or go.
