A beloved coffee shop in the Quad Cities area is shutting down its doors for good. Charged, with locations in Silvis, Orion, and Cambridge, has announced its closure due to several challenges. The coffee shop has been a favorite spot for locals, offering a variety of drinks and breakfast items. Unfortunately, the owners have decided to close all locations this week.
• Charged will close its doors due to rising costs, a slowing economy, and personal challenges faced by the owners.
• The coffee shop will remain open for a few more mornings, allowing customers to visit and use any gift cards or loyalty points.
• Locations include Silvis (111 6th Street), Orion (303 10th Ave.), and Cambridge (104 N. East Street).
• This closure follows a trend, as other local coffee shops have also shut down recently.
The closure of Charged highlights the struggles many small businesses face today. It serves as a reminder of the hard work and dedication that goes into running a local shop. As more coffee shops close, communities may lose unique gathering places and local flavors.
