Shanisah and Jason Knight opened Gotham and Eggs on South Grand Boulevard last August, but Shanisah Knight said the eatery had been struggling financially ever since.
Thanks to unexpected equipment repairs and replacements, two break-ins and less foot traffic than anticipated, Knight said they had been operating month-to-month for a while.
To help keep from shuttering, the business created a GoFundMe last month with a goal of $50,000 as 鈥渁 last ditch effort,鈥 Knight said.
The Knights used the few thousand dollars raised through the campaign to get caught up on rent and they increased food prices to help close the gap, but it wasn鈥檛 enough.
鈥淭hank you for being part of our adventure,鈥 the diner鈥檚 Facebook post reads. 鈥淵our support has meant the world to us, and we鈥檒l never forget the memories we鈥檝e created together.
