"After much thought, we have come to the very difficult decision to permanently close Ivy Alley. Our last day of operation will be May 16th. We are incredibly grateful for your support and hope you will stop by to share one final goodbye with us. It has been a pleasure getting to know so many of you and becoming part of this community. Closing our doors has been a Heart-Wrenching decision, and we will cherish the memories we've made here together."
