918 Coffee, 2446 E. 11th St., permanently closed June 30. In a Facebook post, owner Morad El-Raheb announced he was retiring and the coffeehouse he and his wife, Annie, opened in 2013 would be closing.
“Ten years ago, we set out to invest in an area that we had a personal connection with, and to provide jobs for our fellow Tulsans,” the post reads. “We are delighted to see the growth in the area. We’ve had a great run, but now it is time to retire and say goodbye to all the friends we have met on this journey. It’s been our pleasure to serve you.”
Oh no that is so sad! I hate to see any local business shut down. I hope they enjoy their retirement together, though.
