Jason and Aenith McCollom have shared that following service on Saturday (Feb. 28), they’ll be calling it quits at Chik’n & Mi, which is located at 1765 Mellwood Ave. in Butchertown.
Nine years is impressive longevity for independent operators, and whatever one’s view of dollars and cents, it cannot be argued that current economic conditions are favoring the McCollums and their food service brethren.

Say “so long” to Chik’n & Mi, now through Saturday.

Thank you Louisville...
