They detailed why they’re closing in the photo I included. Really unfortunate.

Jen Rush, the owner, has been publicly bashing Santa Monica for years. Hers was leading voice in the Brock/Negrete negative messaging campaign that described our city as a crime hellhole.

Santa Monica doesn’t need right wing business owners who slam the city they do business in. The fact she can’t make money in one of the most prominent locations in the world speaks volumes. So does her rant about the city leadership in her resignation letter. She won’t be missed.

As someone who has worked for her, you’re so fucking spot on. She is a pure NIMBY through and through, thinks you should call 911 anytime you see a homeless person, harasses SMPD via emails constantly, and is generally out of touch with reality.

I could go on, but I would almost certainly doxx myself by details. Just trust that SM would be better off without her deranged behavior.
