The sudden closure of one of Warwick’s most popular cafes has sent shockwaves through the business community, with the future of the prominent space in question.
Owners Duanne and Janet Karle announced on Sunday via social media their cafe The Weeping Mulberry would be closing its doors that week, as Duanne would need to move away from Warwick to undergo treatment for an undisclosed illness.
“After many discussions and copious tears, it is with a heavy heart we must close The Weeping Mulberry … as it is not sustainable for us to stay open,” the statement read.
“On behalf of Duanne and myself, we would like to thank all our loyal customers for their love and support. We would appreciate your respect and value our privacy at this most difficult time.”
