Vince Maniaci and Jill Dutton have announced they’ll be closing their Scarborough market and cheese shop, The Cheese Iron. Their last day in business will be May 16th.
Their announcement reads in part,
After 20 years of opening, owning and running The Cheese Iron our lease is up at the end of May. After long consideration, we have decided it is time to close the store, and our last day will be Saturday, May 16th.
We want to thank our customers, many of whom have been coming here since the start. Owning a business is a lot of hard work and sacrifice, but what makes it all worth while is our customers, our beloved cheese makers and our vendors. We truly love our community and have loved connecting with you all, and talking about food all these years.
Most importantly we want to thank all of our employees who have worked with us the last 20 years. This store would not have run without their hard work, great customer service and their ability to spread happiness to all that walked into our store. We learned as much from them as they did from us.
Dutton and Maniaci launched The Cheese Iron in August 2006.
