Dear friends,

Please support local small businesses. Times are tough and we could all use your help! Restaurant sales have been down across the board and small restaurants feel it more than the big chains. We want to ask that you support these local small locally owned restaurant and small businesses that you enjoy.

Personally, Rum Runners Cafe—our small, family-run labor of love—is struggling to stay afloat.

We’ve poured our hearts into every plate, every smile, and every moment spent serving this community, especially with our Dine to Donate events. Rum Runners has been more than a restaurant—it’s been a place where memories are made.

But times have been tough. Rising costs, fewer customers, and the weight of keeping our doors open, as well as family hospitalizations have taken a toll. We’re not ready to give up—but we can’t do it alone.

If you’ve ever enjoyed a meal with us, shared a laugh, or simply believe in supporting local businesses, we ask for your help, as well as for help for the other locally owned businesses in our area.

– Stop by for a meal, even just a coffee or dessert.

– Share this message with friends and neighbors.

– Leave a review online to help others discover us.

– If you’re able, consider purchasing a gift card for future visits.

Every gesture, no matter how small, makes a difference. We’re not just fighting
