Closure of Wauseon coffee shop shocks regulars and community

Regulars at Red Rambler Coffees in Wauseon say they didn't see the shutdown coming.

WAUSEON, Ohio —

A popular coffee shop in Fulton County blindsided customers over the weekend after it announced in a social media post that it'll no longer be open for business.

"I think everybody was just kind of blindsided by the whole experience," said one regular customer who asked to not be identified.

He told us that business always appeared to be booming and that many local groups, including the Wauseon Chamber of Commerce, would regularly meet there.

"Always had a great crowd in the morning, a good lunch crowd," the regular said. "In the evenings, they brought in some food trucks and so on. It was nice, but it was a shocker."

Nearly 100 social media comments flooded the announcement post with many asking about the status of their gift cards, if the business was for sale and, simply, what had happened.

When WTOL 11 messaged the owners on Facebook, they said they are still working on the next steps so they have no statement at this time. 

We also asked if there is anything the community can do to help them. They told us that there is currently nothing they can think of.

"I just hope everything is okay financially for you guys and hopefully no one has an illness," the customer said. "No one's asking for you to give that information out, but just hope and pray everything's OK for them."
