Keep the Lights on at Books & Brews Noblesville

Hello from the Fox Family!! As most of you know, we are the owners of Books & Brews Noblesville. We opened our doors on May 15th of 2019. The last year has been one heck of a roller coaster for new business owners. During our first year, we have endured anchor businesses closing around us, massive construction outside our front door, and of course Covid. Through it all, our loyal customers kept us alive.  Patio weather kept us treading water this summer but winter months are a very scary time for "indoor only" dining. Unfortunately, we are already seeing a dramatic decline in customers with cold weather approaching.  We have been open and honest on our personal and business social media pages about the impacts of covid on a small business. We have been hit hard and so many of you have reached out asking what we need to make it through to "patio" weather again. The blunt answer- $40,000. $40,000 would cover our basic bills through February. Yes basic- monthly lease to Simon Malls, loan repayment, electricity, gas, and water bills.  We have been going back and forth with what the next steps are for our small business. Be prepared to close in 2 months when our bank account is dry, or reach out to our loyal customer base and ask for a donation of $5? We are choosing the later because SO many of our friends, customers, and fellow small business owners have encouraged us to do so.  We have an incredible outpouring of support and generous gifts to thank you for a donation. For a $5 donation, you will receive a b&b Noblesville fridge sticker. For a $20 donation, you receive your choice of a b&b pint or wine glass. For a $50 donation, you receive a $5 coupon for Carpe Bellaria sweet treats. Visit Dawn's page at www.carpebellaria.com For a $100 donation, you receive your very own video message from the one and only Blair St. Clair.  All donors will be entered into a drawing for a $150 gift card.  It seems like an impossible goal to reach but this is our last  hope and chance to see you all on the other side of winter. We love our business and the local community and want to make sure we have done everything we can to stay open. No matter what, and no matter how many days we have left, Jordan, Steve, and even little Layla will keep pouring 100% of our time, dedication, and hearts into making this place YOUR place to come and enjoy family, friends, and community.  Thank you for your continued love and support.  The Fox Family- Layla, Jordan, and Steve
