It is with great regret we announce that the OEVG closed its doors for business permanently on June 7, 2020.
Our commitment to the Old East Village community was part of the initial vision for OEVG, it was there before the current COVID-19 crisis and has remained strong throughout. To help ensure a safe environment for our customers and staff during this unprecedented time, we have incurred additional costs associated with the implementation of enhanced sanitization protocols, and increased security. While our commitment to the community remains strong, as a small social enterprise with limited resources, these added costs, in conjunction with pandemic related staffing shortages, supply chain restrictions and unforeseen capital asset replacement costs have made the continued operation of the OEVG unsustainable.
