Dear Friends of Oakwood,
We have some hard news to share today: Oakwood will be suspending operations effective Friday, July 3.
Since launching late last year, the business has endured numerous challenges, both internal and environmental. We’ve worked tirelessly to keep moving forward amid staffing constraints, leadership turnover, rising costs, tough market dynamics, economic pressures, and other significant headwinds.
You may have noticed some of these struggles in the form of new faces, different service models, shifting menus, etc. All of these changes represented our best attempts to adapt and prevail, but unfortunately they were not sufficient. As it exists today, Oakwood is not sustainable.
For this reason, the ownership team is now focused on recalibrating and reimagining Oakwood’s future. While we’re heartbroken to close our doors, we’re also optimistic about the possibilities ahead.
The gratitude we feel for our team and community is impossible to sufficiently convey. Your faith, your support, your patience, your kindness - these are gifts beyond measure. We’ve enjoyed many happy moments with you these past many months and remain hopeful about what’s to come.
Thank you, truly.
Your Oakwood Team
