“All three partners have moved into different areas of their lives where we are all exploring new business ventures, and experiencing an increase in family responsibilities & demand that are taking away our ability to oversee Creaux’s operations as closely as we’d like,” Allen said via email.
“We love the product we’ve built and what it has meant to the community. We’d love to see it sold to someone (or a group) that understands how important it is to have this culture presence in downtown, Lexington, and sees value in continuing to make Lexington a more equitable place to live.”
She said that if they can’t find a buyer who wants to keep Creaux going, they will consider selling the building and reopening Creaux elsewhere someday.
“We have had many requests to open Crēaux in other neighboring cities, including Nashville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, and Louisville, and our partnership group may explore that in that future, as well as reopening in Lexington,” she said.
