The Apple Basket, which specializes in a wide variety chocolate, caramel and candy apples, announced that they’ll be closing soon.
CENTERVILLE, Ga. — A popular Centerville sweets spot will be shutting its doors.
On Monday, The Apple Basket, a spot that sells dipped apple-based confections, announced they’ll be permanently closing at the end of February, via a post on their Facebook.
“Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much) to all of you that have supported our craft through the years and genuinely appreciated what we do as a husband and wife team,” the post said. “Our goal was to bring something new to this region that would satisfy as many taste palettes as possible.”
The owners stated that they’re closing the shop due to plans to retire and return back to Hawaii.
“We feel the time has come for us to slow down and enjoy the rest of our lives at a much slower pace and spending time with our Ohana (family) that we have missed more than they know,” they said in the Facebook post.
The restaurant is known for creating a wide array of unique dipped apples. From chocolate, caramel and candy apples, to unique flavors like cheesecake, key lime, banana pudding and birthday cake.
Since announcing their plans to permanently close, The Apple Basket said on Facebook that they’ve consistently sold out each day.
“We are sold out for today and back to the drawing board! Once again, beautiful smiles, happy and warm spirits from y’all and that’s amazing!! Mahalo nui loa for bringing in that good energy, that’s what drives us,” the post said.
In the initial Facebook post, nearly 200 people commented on their disappointment in The Apple Basket’s closing announcement. Many of them expressed their disappointment and how much they loved coming and meeting with the owners.
The Apple Basket will officially close its doors on Friday, Feb. 28. The owners invite everyone to come by so they can serve their customers one final time.
“Mahalo nui loa to all of you. You have allowed us to be a part of your lives, having been accepted and embraced by many means the world to us. So once again, thank you! We hope that we leave a lasting impression on you,” the Facebook post said. “It’s all about what’s in our hearts. So if we were able to change even persons heart condition, that’s all that matters.”
