19 years of Obeeluv is about to run its course: Obee’s will close its doors for the last time on December 23, 2022. This was a very difficult decision. The last few years have been very trying on myself, my family and my staff. We always tried to give you the BEST customer service, BEST quality food and BEST value. But with today’s rampant food prices, high energy costs and high just about everything else, that is no longer possible. The battle is over.

I want to thank everyone who has supported Obeeville (Ottawa, Spring Valley or LaSalle) over the past 19 years, whether as an employee or customer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and with a tear of gratitude for each and every one of you. This is not easy. Starting and running a business isn’t easy. But it was worth it, all thanks to you. So much Obeeluv.

The closer we get to December 23, the harder it will be. Everything is subject to change, including our hours, menus and delivery service. Please check for updates on Facebook. 

In the meantime, I hope to see you one last time (or maybe even a few times!) before the end of the year. It’s been a pleasure serving you and your families and getting to know our shared community.

The original Obee’s opened in Ottawa nearly two decades ago. Even after all this time, I still remember all the people who came together to make it happen. Many of them literally helped build, paint, and furnish that first shop. It was a scary time, but this outpouring of support from the original Obeeville family made all the difference.

Over the years, we’ve opened shops and closed shops, supported nonprofits and local sports teams, and built bonds that will last a lifetime. There were many highs and many lows. But despite it all, Obeeville continued to grow. It was a wild ride; it’s been a great 19 years.

Since our announcement last month, we’ve been blown away by all your Obeeluv. We’re so happy that we could be a part of all of your lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting us serve you. We wish you and yours the best.

Until we meet again, this is Obee’s signing off.
