If you live in Bushwick, have friends who live in Bushwick or have heard of Bushwick, you most likely know of Little Skips. For 10 years, the neighborhood cafe has been serving coffee and delicious sandwiches to the (creative) community. Now, due to a doubling of her rent, owner Linda Thach is forced to close the cafe’s doors by the end of August.
“I’ve exhausted my options,” said Thach in a phone interview. “ I have not been able to find a solution that I feel comfortable with.”
She’s considered making it work with the extra costs, but that would mean that she’d have to hustle way harder. It took her years to find the right business structure for Little Skips and she doesn’t want to do that again.
