I realise this is going to come as a big surprise to many of you and it’s the scariest post I’ve ever had to write...
A few months ago I made the difficult decision to put the coffee shop up for sale.
It’s been an incredible journey and its success has been down to the love, passion and commitment I have given it for almost 7 years, along with the team past and present. And none of it would have been possible without all your support.
I have two young boys and feel ready to take a step back and enjoy life in the ‘slow lane’ for a while, in the near future.
Because Nibsy’s is still Reading’s only entirely gluten-free coffee shop it was incredibly important for me to find the ‘right’ buyer to take over. And whilst it won’t be called Nibsy’s, I’m really pleased to tell you that the new owner, Richard, loves what we do and wants to keep it entirely GF and change very little, apart from the name (as I couldn’t bear to part with my nickname!). The team’s jobs are also still in place and they have been so understanding.
I will be passing on everything we do from recipes to routines, and Jon and I will be working alongside Richard for a few weeks after the transfer, to help ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.
Our last trading day as Nibsy’s is due to be Sunday 27th June and the new owner will reopen in early July.
We will share more news and updates with you all over the coming weeks - until then, it’s business as usual ☺️
It’s amazing to know that all the goodies you enjoy will live on and, as Richard said, he wants to ‘carry on the legacy’ and I Iook forward to enjoying time there as a customer in the future too.
You’ll still be able to get your donuts kits from us directly after the transfer, and I hope to finish the recipe book before the end of the year.
I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s been a part of this incredible chapter in my life. Before opening Nibsy’s I couldn’t bake, make coffee and had never managed a team, let alone a business! I wanted to make a positive impact on my home town and make people see that gluten-free food doesn’t mean compromising on quality.
Lots of love,
