State College Area Bubble Tea Shop Closing

A State College area shop specializing in boba tea, coffee and a variety of specialty drinks is shutting its doors after a little more than three years in business. TeaFé , located at 1633 N. Atherton St. near Walmart in the North Atherton Place shopping center, is closing at the end of November, according to a post on the store's Facebook page and a sign on the shop's front door. A specific date for the last day of business was not provided and management did not respond to a message seeking comment on Wednesday. TeaFé opened in September 2023 in the 2,400-square-foot space that was formerly Carver's Deli along the shopping center's retail strip. It has offered a wide selection of boba, milk tea, matcha, yogurt drinks, coffee, lattes, frappes, shakes, smoothies, specialty tea drinks and more. The shop's food menu has included beignets and other pastries, as well as musubi and onigiri. TeaFé sought to set itself apart in the area's bubble tea market through both its offerings and atmosphere. "We did not want to be just another cafe that serves boba or coffee," the business wrote on its website. "We wanted to create a space for anyone and

DOC NYC 2026 Review: There’s Strong Shelf Life in an Old Way of Life in Brian Becker’s Felicitous “Mall Country”

It’s apparent early on in “Mall Country” that Leo Karruli didn’t know what exactly he was buying when he won an auction to purchase the Johnstown Galleria in a small Western Pennsylvania. Scouring the internet for real estate investments after becoming a successful restauranteur in Florida, achieving the American dream when he worked his way up from being a dishwasher from Albania to ultimately having an Italian place of his own, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy a fully functional shopping center for just $1.4 million, though as his wife Irene notes, there wasn’t much wiggle room to back out when he made an impulsive bid, only to learn there were no other interested buyers.

Downtown State College restaurant to close, but a new pasta concept is on the way

A downtown State College restaurant that specializes in Nashville-style hot chicken is slated to close after five years in business , but its owner is already working on a new restaurant concept to take its place. Big Dean’s Hot Chicken, 208 W. College Ave., is scheduled to close Nov. 25. Owner Pete Howey told the Centre Daily Times on Thursday that the decision stemmed in part from increased competition in Happy Valley’s chicken market and questions about the restaurant’s ability to grow long-term. “We’ve done decent sales, but it’s just not something we see as something that we’re able to grow effectively because it seems like a very crowded space in the chicken category,” Howey said. “Even if people don’t dilute sales every time a new place is open, it’s just something that we’ve kind of realized we can’t really continue to grow and build on. It’s just been a challenge in that regard.” Howey said he has considered the change for the past two to three years. His plan is to open a new fast-casual Italian restaurant centered on fresh pasta by January or February. He said the yet-to-be-named restaurant would be a new concept rather than an expansion
