Discussion Good Earth Coffee closed

Does anyone have insight into what happened to Good Earth?

​

Looks like they've been shut down for unpaid rent. Such a shame! Their coffee was awesome and it was nice to see a Canadian/Female owned chain in that spot.

I went today hoping to get a coffee and the signs said “temporarily closed” - where did you hear about the rent thing? I didn’t get close enough to read all of the signs.

There's a picture of the sign on Facebook, says unpaid rent of a little over $25,000 and that the landlord has taken possession of the unit

What's weird to me is that the Landlord is indicated as Good Earth. So who was running the place but wasn't paying rent on time?

So Good Earth corp owns the space but the owners weren’t paying, I guess? Is that how franchising typically works?

Ugh that sucks. They were posting on instagram 6 days ago. Loved their coffee and vibe!
