The ovens will cool at Brevan’s Patisserie on Saturday, Dec. 19 after nearly two years of serving cookies, cinnamon rolls and other confections in Edwardsville.
In a Facebook post, owners Dan and Amy Maddox cited lack of business as the reason for the closure, but they expressed gratitude for the experience and the relationships they have formed.
“Although we are very sad, we do not see this as a failure,” read part of the online statement. “We have won awards, made new friends and have gotten the chance to work side by side. We are very grateful for all of these.”
The couple, who are both professionally trained pastry chefs, is working out what they’ll do next. “We’re trying to figure that out,” Amy Maddox said.
Customers who enjoyed Brevan’s Patisserie’s gluten-free offerings can contact the shop through Facebook for information about potential future availability.
