WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. September 5, 2007: Cappelli Enterprises in a statement has said they are not attempting to relocate The Corner Nook and the Continental Deli to new locations in the city. The businesses were ordered to vacate the property by City Court Judge Barbara Leak last week. The two concerns have been fighting eviction for the last three months. The judge ordered them out as of October 31. The owner of the Nook cafe had hopes that the Cappelli organization would aid them in finding a new location in the city.
The Nook Corner on Main Street: One Way Out.
Asked about these issues, Geoffrey Thompson, spokesperson for the Cappelli Enterprises issued this statement yesterday:
As you are well aware, the two remaining occupants of the Main Street retail space have known for a very long time that they would have to vacate the premises. They do not have leases and the court has now ruled that they must vacate by October 31. Four years ago, we raised the possibility of exploring relocation alternatives. There was a lack of response. Cappelli Enterprises is not now actively seeking to relocate these two businesses. We are now fully prepared and ready to move forward with the construction on this site of the affordable housing that the city is seeking and that we are pleased to provide.
