CLOSURES

Pix Pâtisserie Like Add to a List
Sad news for anyone in Portland with a sweet tooth: The longtime "dessert oasis" Pix Pâtisserie is closing permanently on August 22 due to owner Cheryl Wakerhauser's retirement. Though the closure may come to a surprise as many, Wakerhauser says in an Instagram post that she actually planned the retirement from the "nonstop, unpredictable and yet also rewarding restaurant industry" 10 years ago to the date, when she opened the bakery's East Burnside location. Happily, there's a silver lining: The bakery's now-iconic 24-hour "Pix-O-Matic" vending machines will remain intact and fully stocked with goodies from Wakerhauser's baking crew, and Wakerhauser herself will host cooking classes starting next year. If you'd like to say goodbye, stop by for one of Pix's summer movie nights Like Add to a List or for a drink from the award-winning champagne and sherry menu on the patio (since, as Wakerhauser writes, "I can’t legally sell wine in a vending machine").

ThiccBoi Like Add to a List
The popular fried chicken cart closed on Sunday, July 3. Owner Jacob Palmer wrote in an Instagram post, "As chicken prices have skyrocketed and quality has dropped, it has become increasingly difficult to provide y’all with a consistent product. At a certain point the stress of running the cart exceeded the gratification and money that I was getting out of it. I’ve realized that this is not what I want to do anymore, so we will be closing very soon. I wish we could stay open longer for y’all, but between the extreme heat, the slim profit margins, and both me and my employee having scheduling conflicts soon, it makes the most sense for this week to be our last. My hope is that me and my family will continue to revive ThiccBoi in creative ways moving forward!"

Tails & Trotters Like Add to a List
This market known for its hazelnut-finished pork products closed last Saturday, July 2. Owners Aaron and Kelly Silverman cited rising expenses and the impact of COVID-19 as factors contributing to the closure, writing in an Instagram post, "After weathering a devastating fire in 2017 and the past 2 years of COVID, the sudden loss of key infrastructure makes it impossible for us to effectively operate. In conjunction with skyrocketing costs at every level, we have decided to suspend all operations while we figure out our next steps." The business will pay one last visit to the PSU Farmers Market Like Add to a List this Saturday if you'd like to stock up.
