It is with a sad heart that I officially announce the closing of the Up-A-Creek Coffee Co. From August 2003 to March 2007, we have made many, many dear friends and hopefully touched everyone in some way as we went. I could point to many varying factors as to its eventual demise, but none would change what was inevitable. All good things must end, some simply sooner than hoped or expected. We enjoyed the time we were given; the fellowship, music, laughs and surprises will live within us.

To the faithful who made Up-A-Creek possible, we thank you for your support. It was all about the people and the family, and you all became family by stepping through our front doors.

Please continue to support small, family-owned businesses. They are the lifeblood of America and symbols of what we hope to acheive - a chance to directly impact their communities.

Until our paths meet again out of a mutual need for caffeine or music, we bid you a fond farewell.

Jerry, Rachel, Molly, Jerry, Sr., Janice, Renee, Nana and the rest of the Underwood family and Up-A-Creek Crew.
