Permanently Closed
Joan Kanner is a food business owner turned audio storyteller.
While running her food business, Kanner witnessed similar businesses die before their time. Meanwhile, others thrived. Along the way, she learned that it’s more complicated than being “open” or “shut.”
Her upcoming podcast, Permanently Closed, shrinks the gap between why customers think their favorite food business closed and why it actually did.
Along the way, we’ll hear from customers, place makers, restaurant columnists, funders and yes, the owners themselves.
