We're closed.
 

The end of a wild adventure is upon us. We closed The Burley Market & Café.

Though our business concept has been a success in many ways, unending waves of challenges due to COVID-19 have ultimately exhausted our energy and resources necessary to offer the quality and experience we set out to provide. Ultimately, family and our mental health take precedence and have been chronically compromised in recent months.  

​

We opened The Burley Market to bring people around our tables for good drinks and quality food. We wanted to welcome people to a warm, inviting space that was unique, without screens and distractions, and offer Cynthiana things we wanted in our town that we could not get. We accomplished this. Yet, COVID took so much away. Our tables were empty many weeks due to mandates, cost of goods and services have been crippling, and staffing is an unending battle. We have pivoted to make changes and adjust with every challenge, but 18 months later we have run out of steam.

​

To you, our supporters, we are forever grateful that you showed up, supported, and cheered us on. Your purchases, social media posts shared, and love for The Burley Market has a lasting impression. Cynthiana CAN offer a nice, quality establishment and people WILL support it. Unfortunately, the timing of this entrepreneurial dream and the current economic challenges have not aligned.  Without our incredible staff and unrelenting support from family, we could never have made it this far. We have been blessed.

​

If anyone out there wishes to pick up where we are leaving off, The Burley Market is for sale. We do have some interest and will keep everyone posted on the exciting, new things to come. 

​

It has been an honor to serve you. We wish you peace, good health, and may you always have something tasty in your cup.

With sincerest thanks,

Noel & Karey

Good food begins with quality ingredients.
