Orange Leaf closing for good after today

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

Orange Leaf posted on Facebook that today will be their last day of operation because their lease is up. (And everything is 50% off today.) This was news to me! Am I the only one surprised? (Edit: seems like this must have been sudden, because as recently as Sept 8 they posted on Facebook that they were looking to hire two new people.)

With the recent closing of iYo, this leaves quite a froyo gap in the square all of a sudden!? Has froyo had its moment and now become uncool? :(

Sorry to hear this. My kids love Orange Leaf over the others for whatever reason. I appreciated it because my son has a peanut allergy and they were extremely good about getting clean toppings from the back, etc. and they did so with a positive (even excited) attitude that didn't make my son feel like he was burdening them. Both IYo and JP Licks are routinely less than ideal in their handling of the situation. So... looking forward, what would we all like to see move in (whether there or some other location)? There are a few vacancies. Do we have a wish list? (Not to suggest in any manner that I actually can fulfill said wishes! But it doesn't hurt to have a sense for what we'd find exciting.)

Not sure if you've been, but I understand that the new-ish Tipping Cow ice cream store is completely nut-free.

Haven't been. Thanks!

I am sad that they are closing. Davis Sq needs ONE FroYo place. Maybe Orange Leaf can take over iYo's lease?
