Unfortunate news was shared for the town of Autryville earlier this month as the popular coffee and ice cream shop Cool Beans Coffee and Ice cream closed its doors.
“Cool Beans Family, it is with a heavy heart we are announcing we will be closing Cool Beans Autryville on January 21st,” a post on the business’ Facebook page read. “This decision was very difficult to make because of the bonds, friendships and memories we have made throughout our time in Autryville.”
As for the reasoning behind why they decided to close up shop it remains unclear. The Sampson Independent tried to reach out for more information, but have been unable to connect with owners Adam Taveras and Tonya Tyler for comment as of the writing of this story.
As word spread about the closing, members of the town board also made an official post about the decision. Their words were full of thanks for their service and the future they helped build for businesses coming to Autryville.
