We want to thank the Sarasota Firefighters and Sherrif's Office for their dedication to fighting the six alarm fire at the warehouse on June 17, 2016. Your immediate action to save JR's Old Packinghouse Cafe kept the damage contained. This could have easily been a total loss. We also wish to thank the Red Cross for their efforts as well. The community support during this tragic and emotional time has been enormous. 

We will be posting updates on Facebook so check back often.
