After an amazing 7 years,' Chocolaterian closes for good. (Wisconsin State Journal, 8/6/2019)
Leanne Cordisco, the majority owner of the business, said she couldn't survive after a flood and then a fire at the Atwood location, and a flood at the Middleton shop.
"A fire and two floods. It's just cash flow -- just couldn't overcome it," she said.
Cordisco opened Chocolaterian Cafe, a European-style patisserie, in October 2012 at 2004 Atwood Ave., in the 1920s-era Schenk-Huegel uniform shop.
The building suffered a fire in February 2018 caused by faulty electrical equipment in the basement. It resulted in $750,000 in damage, and forced out Chocolaterian and Vault Interiors & Design. Businesses on the second floor were also affected.

"We are heartbroken over the loss of our original café but it helps a lot to see the restoration in full swing," the post said.
Chocolaterian is going to work with some east side businesses to carry some of the treats usually available in store.
