“We are not leaving Davenport, just leaving the location. We are currently looking for another location in Iowa and will announce when the time is right. In the meantime, we are excited to continue to serve our great customers at our Rock Island, Illinois location, 2704 18th Avenue, and at the Freight House Farmers’ Market,” the owners said.
