Mike’s Organic, located at 600 East Putnam Avenue in Cos Cob is closing for good this weekend.
In making the announcement Mike said: “This business has long been a dream of mine. A chance to unite the two things I love the most about life. Food and people. The dream started almost 15 years ago in my parents’ house with a Nissan pathfinder. A 29-year-old kid driving to farms every Monday to pick out the freshest eggs, crispiest lettuce, and juiciest tomatoes and then deliver them right to people’s homes.
“Over the years the business grew to a warehouse in Stamford. Fed thousands of people and kept dozens of farms in business through COVID, and eventually expanded into a new store on the Post Road in Cos Cob.
“We fought through adversity and challenges we never could have foreseen. Had successes and failures. Several issues impeded our progress, including significantly higher-than-anticipated construction costs, inflation, food prices rising at the highest rate in decades, continued challenges in the retail industry, and more. In the end we were not able to get the business to the place it needed to be in the time we had.”
The business, including the store and delivery service, will close permanently Sunday, March 3rd.
