A joint deli and photo gallery in Pittsfield, Massachusetts called Marie's North Street Eatery and Gallery has permanently closed its doors after two years in business. The owners, Ashley and Neil, announced the closure on social media, citing 'great sadness' over the decision.

Why it matters

The closure of Marie's represents the ongoing challenges facing small, independent businesses in the post-pandemic economy, especially those that combined retail and dining elements. The loss of this unique community hub is disappointing for Pittsfield residents who enjoyed the combination of food, art, and gathering space.

The details

Ashley and Neil renovated the Shipton Building space to house both a deli serving sandwiches, breakfast items, and grab-and-go fare, as well as a photography gallery for local artists. However, after just two years of operation, the owners have decided to permanently shutter the establishment.
