Apteka started with a crowd funding campaign too.
Update to say that before they opened Apteka, Tomasz and Kate started this all with these awesome all you can eat pierogi vs (some other cuisine) nights (starting back around 2008 maybe?) that eventually settled at the community centre on Main St. They were so popular there were always lines out the door. IIRC they bought the building that is now Apteka but they did the crowdfunding for the renovations since it was not configured as a restaurant before. Stop the downvotes and hate here guys. They were really scraping together and had built a lot of support with a loyal community for years before Apteka.

The first time I walked into this new Target it hurt as I remembered what the layout was when it was Kaufmann's. That building will always be Kaufmann's for me. I miss roaming through all the floors.
