So Long, CeFiore

UPDATE: Just read over at the Weekly, that a deal may be in the works for a new buyer to snatch up and reopen CeFiore. Viva la Fro Yo!

CeFiore, the Pinkberry-esque Frozen Yogurt shop in College Park, is closing.

In a printed note taped to the door and counter, the store’s owner, Graham Barrett, says the store will be closing for good … a victim of “the economic times.”

CeFiore has only been open since June 21, 2008, and had intended to open additional locations in the fall.

As a resident of College Park, I have to tell you, this one just sucks.

    @erin I had no idea! LOL! It is sad though – the place was very cute, and had good frozen yogurt.

    Happy to say Cefiore re-opened Saturday, March 14 to a packed house of devotees.

    Another buyer has snatched it up and taken it over much to the delight of many in central Florida.

    A bit of California right here in College Park!

    When so many businesses are closing, nice to hear that this one is back on track. Cefiore is to me the “Lexus” of FroYo!

    @steve d This is nice to hear. I only went to CeFiore once, but when I was there I had a really good time. Seems like a nice joint for the College Park folks.

    @surina Yup, the locals need to come out and support their neighborhood businesses. It’s probably one of the things we can do to stimulate our own economies.
