*Clarification for the below post*… we are not closing either location… we are simply downsizing the footprint of the downtown location… both locations will remain open*
For over eight years, Johnstown has been the heart of our journey. Three weeks ago, I celebrated my son’s college graduation and my daughter entering her sophomore year in college. Along with that, many of you are aware of my broken elbow that I struggled with for over 10 weeks. I’ve had time to think about what comes next. The honest answer: it’s time to simplify and get back to my roots. I’m a little tired - and I’m ready to focus.
We’re staying downtown, but we’re consolidating. Balance is moving back into 415 Main Street, the original space where this whole thing started. Same block, same neighborhood - just a tighter focus on the quality and experience that built our reputation from day one.
Here’s what that means for you:
Downtown service continues at 415 Main Street
The airport stays exactly as it is, and becomes our primary event space
Events already booked in the 413 mission inn dining room will be hosted as planned
Courtyard bookings are unaffected
On days we are closed downtown, we will still host private parties in the original Balance Dining Room
We aren’t going anywhere. We are just getting focused.
The greatest treasure I got out of opening Balance 8 years ago - one I never expected - was the relationships I built with all of you. I didn’t realize how much I had missed that until I started serving again at the airport. I can’t wait for this next chapter. Due to the move… we will be closed tomorrow June 1st and Tuesday June 2nd at the downtown location. The airport will be open!
Thank you Johnstown. I couldn’t be more proud of what Balance has become over these past 8 years. But I am ready to create my own personal Balance once again.
Thank you for your support
Amanda
