"To our Smithfield Ohana, We are saddened to announce that we have made the difficult decision to permanently close our doors on Wednesday December 13th. Our time in this town has been amazing and we will always treasure being a part of the Smithfield community. 

This past year, however, has been very tough on small businesses, especially new ones just starting out.  While we have seen a consistent flow of guests coming in and have made many new friends, we have not had the sales possible for us to survive.  

We sincerely thank our loyal guests who have supported us since we opened - we’ve truly enjoyed serving you and being part of such a wonderful community. We hope to see many of you again sometime soon. Our last day open will be Tuesday December 12th. Both of us will be working that day so we can personally see our friends and bid them a fond farewell.

Our Worcester, MA location will remain open, and we hope you will stop in if you happen to be in the area. Thank you once again for allowing us to serve our Smithfield Ohana. We will truly miss seeing you.

Mahalo Jim & Marilyn Way"
