Gone, Gogi, Gone
Gogi Restaurant, the Korean/Mexican fusion eatery on Congress Street in Portland, has closed. According to a press release from former owner Ian Farnsworth, he sold his interest in the restaurant to his business partner, Hwamin Yi, who then chose to close the establishment. Gogi, known for offering late-night grub to hungry night owls, opened in April 2011.
Stonyfield says ‘so long’
The Stonyfield Cafe location in Falmouth (known as O’Naturals until it was rebranded in early 2010) has also closed. Stonyfield Cafe CEO and co-founder Mac McCabe said in a press release, “It is with extraordinary sadness that we announce that we have closed the café permanently. Since the economic downturn in 2008, our revenues have never recovered enough to keep us going. We have postponed this decision for as long as we could, but we have now reached the point where it is no longer financially viable for us to keep going…”
