MMLAst Call Tea Ad REVISED

Marina Mercantile in Des Moines has announced that their final day will be Saturday, May 9, the day before Mother’s Day.

“We are serving Spring Tea in the afternoon that day, then hosting a private Celebration of Life from 4-7, which seems very fitting. After that, we will host our very own ‘Closing Ceremonies’ party from 8 p.m. May 9 until it’s over,” says Mercantile proprietor Brenda Sutherland. 

“In the meantime, we’re still here, still having fun, and giving folks a last chance for Afternoon Tea, Sunday Brunch, and craft cocktails and dinner, not to mention 25% off a great selection still of wine and tinned fish” adds her husband and co-owner Richard Mockler. “And we’d love to see you.”

The Merc is currently taking reservations for their well-loved Seasonal Tea, with a Spring theme closing out the next three weeks. And their full menu of charcuterie, flatbreads, steaks, burgers, and specials like the Spicy Vegan Sloppy Joe, along with Craft Cocktails from bartender Katy Harrison, is still available through the 9th of May.

“We also have two Sundays of Brunch service left,” notes Mockler, “and a Free Mimosa for everyone who orders a brunch dish!”

Celebrate Mom with Afternoon Tea 640

While the Mercantile in its current form is closing, the couple both note that they retain their love for food, wine, and the chance to share them with people. They are currently exploring a variety of options for ways to stay engaged with all three after they get a brief break.

“We still have a business license, the Marina Mercantile name (and Tako the World’s Happiest Octopus as our mascot), and, most important, our relationships with our customers and with some amazing distributors and makers of delicious and delightful things,” according to Mockler.

Among the things the couple is considering:

  • Cheese and Charcuterie Buying Clubs (starting with continuing to make sure folks in South King County can get Cougar Gold at a decent price!)
  • Ongoing maintenance online of their Tinned Fish collection – perhaps with local pickup or delivery
  • Partnering with another business to continue the Marina Mercantile Wine Club (“We won’t have a liquor license, but, you know, we know people …” notes Sutherland.)
  • Pop-up Afternoon Tea events

Even as they begin to wind down the Merc itself, the duo is eager to hear from folks about the things they will miss that maybe could carry on in some form.
