I know, after I took a breath and read the article, I feel better... But still a little worried, a la zing pizza... :)

Good for them! I hope they get a good price and we get new owners who are as committed to awesomeness as the current owners are.

I like it when cool small business owners can hand a place off and retire.

Yes, this!

And I know several people / groups of people who are already seriously entertaining the notion of trying to raise the funds to buy it. All pipe dreams at present, but we'll see.

It sounds like there's some hope that they're not in a big hurry and might find a buyer who wants to continue operating in about the same way.
