With mixed emotions, we announce that we are closing our doors as of April 24, 2022 after 15 years of business. We are grateful to have survived the ongoing pandemic thanks to our exceptionally supportive patrons. Not unlike other small business owners in the restaurant industry, we have been facing significant challenges procuring staff. One of the aims of our recent move from Holland avenue to our smaller Preston St. location was to downsize operations and rely on fewer employees, but the challenge persisted. We see this as a cue to step back. I’m looking forward to retirement and spending lots of time on the golf course; while Natalie will take a long break before deciding what’s next for her. Our daughter Brigitte is moving to Paris to pursue a career in her field, so we’re also looking forward to a trip to France. She will be working some shifts at the restaurant over the next couple of weeks as we bid farewell to our little family business. The Foolish Chicken is for sale and we maintain that this is a solid business for an owner/operator. We are hoping that someone will see this opportunity and benefit from it. We extend a sincere thank you to all of you who supported us and made The Foolish Chicken a success. We hope to see you before the 24th.

Sincerely,

Rick & Natalie
