To our beloved Abbotsford Community,
It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to you today to share some very difficult news. After considerable reflection and with a profound sense of sadness, we have made the heartbreaking decision to close El Compañero. This decision was not made lightly, but the current economic climate has left us with no choice.
I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible support that the Abbotsford community has shown us over the years. The relationships we’ve built and the moments we’ve shared have meant everything to us, and we will cherish those memories forever.
I also want to take a moment to thank all of our staff, both current and past, who played an integral role in bringing El Compañero to life. We experienced so many adventures together—there were ups and downs, but without each of you, the magic of El Compañero would not have been possible.
As we reflect on the past four years, we feel immense pride in what we have accomplished together. It’s truly been a privilege to serve this community.
As we say goodbye, we hope that you will continue to support local businesses. There are few small restaurants left in our community, and they need your support now more than ever. We are not alone in facing challenges; many are navigating these tough times.
Thank you all for being a part of our journey. Your support has made a lasting impact, and we will always hold you dear in our hearts.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Angie & Russ
