Was very sad to see this, as members of my Louisville family absolutely love Morels.I wish them lots of success in future endeavors.
From their Facebook page:
It’s with a heavy heart I have to tell you that Morels will be closing as of August 18th. I spoke about it with our amazing staff first, and we are trying to offer jobs in other places inside our company. With that said, if any restaurants are looking for help, there will be some awesome people looking for employment.
I am keeping the property at 619 Baxter as we reformulate a plan. We will continue to increase our catering services as well as offer private events and pop ups. We are also working to provide our deli offerings around the city in multiple locations, including customizable offerings. It would be a huge help if you could request our deli items at establishments you visit to help spread the vegan goods! This certainly is *not* the end of Morels, and I’m hopeful we will be back one day when the time is right.
We are excited to partner up with Logan Street Market, and will continue to keep the morels legacy going through our Louisville Vegan Foods booth there. We will have all of our products including the Vegan Jerky, Toppins, Whelpdale chocolates, Morels deli items (our classics and some cool new items!) and Ashley’s “Sugar High” baked goods at at the end of August. Ashley, our superstar baker has partnered with Louisville Vegan Foods recently, she will continue to sell her poptarts and other pastries all over town. She has a website opening soon where you will be able to place custom orders. We’re hoping to open her own bakery location in Old Louisville the summer of 2020.
