BLOOMINGTON – A beloved vegan-based restaurant in downtown Bloomington is closing its doors.
Under the Ground BloNo announced they are closing at the end of February due to health issues and other factors.
“This month also presented an extra set of challenges, and as a scrappy little business that was already fighting for its life, we just can’t compete any longer, with some recent worsening health issues playing a factor in our decision,” Owners Cecil and Jackie Gunderson said in a social media post.
Until the restaurant’s closure on Feb. 25, Under the Ground BloNo plans to remain open every Thursday – Saturday.
“To our die-hards, thank you for keeping us alive in this location for the past two years,” the Owners added.
