Main Street has one fewer coffee shop after this weekend.<\/p>\n
The Artigiano at 4010 Main St. has closed; as of Sept. 7 the windows were papered over, though the location had been open on Friday, Sept. 4.<\/p>\n
A note on the door says goodbye to the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
“For years it’s been our privilege\u00a0to be a part of your mornings, your afternoon breaks, your catch-ups, and everything in between,” reads the note.<\/p>\n
The location was around for more than a decade, opening when the building it was located in first opened.<\/p>\n
The closure has not been announced online, and as of publication, the Artigiano site still lists the Main Street location.<\/p>\n
Artigiano still has around 18 locations in southwestern B.C. and one location in Calgary, according ot its website.<\/p>\n
While the Main Street location closed this week, Artigiano has grown in other areas. The local chain opened a new location at the Brentwood Town Centre Station last month.<\/p>\n
In the late 1990s, entrepreneurial brothers Vince and Sammy\u00a0Piccolo opened the first Caff\u00e8 Artigiano locations on Hornby Street, West Pender Street and West Hastings Street in downtown Vancouver. They then sold the business<\/a> to former Earls executive Willie Mounzer.<\/p>\n With files from Glen Korstrom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They alerted the neighbourhood with a note on the door.
