Future uncertain: Why the Koro Café remains closed in Jena
Future uncertain: Why the Koro Café remains closed in Jena
The news of the temporary closure of a popular café in Jena causes unrest among the regular guests and the entire community. The "Koro Café & Ice Cream", a well-known trend café on the market, has closed its doors since mid-September, and many are wondering what is behind this unexpected decision.
Surprising closure in the catering area
The red doors of the café have been closed for more than four weeks, and passing guests can only see a sign in the shop window, which announces "company holidays". But in the catering trade it is quite unusual that a rest of the company lasts for so long. While some may think of a temporary measure, the company's spokeswoman is optimistic and confirmed that the café remains closed for an indefinite period.
The role of the "Koro Café" in the city
The "Koro Café" has not only developed into a meeting point for vegans since its opening in May 2022, but also offered a variety of vegetarian and vegan foods. The decision to expand the range and offer exceptional types of ice cream attracted many curious visitors. Jena was not only the only location of the café in the region, but also a test field for the concept, since the Koro brand is mainly known for its online sale.
Economic effects and future questions
The closure not only affects the loyal customers who appreciate the café, but also raises questions about the economic ecosystem in Jena. Small business owners, who may be dependent on the café's customers, could suffer from loss of sales. The hope is now that the café will open again soon and recapture its place in local gastronomy. The company's spokeswoman said that the response in the "Lichtstadt" was consistently positive, which leads to a certain hope of reopening.
A look into the future
whether the popular café ever opens its doors again remains uncertain. The "Koro Café" in Jena acted as an important part of the local nutritional scene and a visit was an enrichment for many. The community is looking forward to news, but until then it only remains to be seen how the trend café will continue.
