初志貫徹
Dear Cleveland,
As many of you may know, an important chapter of our story began three months, when we opened as a pop-up restaurant.
This wasn’t our original intent — we’ve always dreamt of opening a permanent storefront in our home city. But with the process of navigating various permits, undergoing a still-looming pandemic and a host of other uncertainties in our industry, we knew there was a chance we’d have to resume our status as a ghost kitchen. Our expected closing date for our pop-up is right some time in June.
Sora 天 has been a labor of love. Our team has turned into family in the process — and after how far we’ve come, we can’t see ourselves going back to being just a ghost kitchen. We recently even installed a neon-sign that shines bright in our main dining room reading, “初志貫徹” — which means “See things through til the end.”
We believe that we need to join the fabric of the Cleveland restaurant scene - and we need your help. So, we are taking our own destiny into our own hands and going to our community to help speed up this process: we are hoping to secure 10,000 sign-ups from our community to help us become a permanent location.
Whether it’s securing additional permits for an outdoor expansion, to bolstering our nightlife scene, to providing larger offerings & catering — our work is only beginning if we can become a permanent location.
