Before It's Gone

A proper goodbye for beloved places

Before It's Gone

When a beloved restaurant, bakery, theatre or shop is closing, we help it have the final month it deserves — and we keep its stories alive after the last day.

Delivered in 2–4 weeks. The memory page stays free for customers, always.

“Tell everyone who ever loved it. Run the farewell nights. Keep the stories.”

What we do

A beloved place on its last night deserves to be served properly.

Farewell Campaign

The final month, done for you

Announcement copy, an email and social campaign to past customers, farewell event nights, a public memory page of stories and photos, and a local press pitch — delivered in 2–4 weeks.

Return Night

One more night, for a place already gone

A closed place people still talk about, brought back for a single ticketed evening with its original owner or chef, its signature menu, and its stories built into the night.

Memory Page

The stories stay, after the last day

Every campaign collects the community's photos and memories into a page that stays online after the doors close — a permanent capsule for the people who loved the place.

How a campaign runs

Four weeks, four steps.

  1. 1

    We agree the goodbye

    A one-page agreement: dates, scope, and who owns the photos and stories. 50% deposit to begin.

  2. 2

    We announce properly

    Copy in the owner's voice, the memory page goes live, and the email + social sequence is scheduled.

  3. 3

    We run the farewell nights

    Final menu or programme, ticketing, a photographer, and a daily five-minute check-in with the owner.

  4. 4

    We hand it over

    A completed memory page, a final statement, and every story collected — kept alive after the last day.

We never discount the price quietly. If a venue can't meet it, we reduce scope at a named lower price — the memory page stays free for customers either way.

For everyone who loves a place

Never miss the last visit again.

Tell us the places you love. We'll let you know when one is saying goodbye — in time for one last visit — and invite you to the farewell and Return Nights.

  • • Two honest grades only: rumour and confirmed — never blurred.
  • • We never sell your data or your email. Unsubscribe anytime.
  • • A business told about in error can be corrected the same day.

For owners, families & brokers

Is a place you know closing?

There's still time to make the final month a good story. Tell us about the place and we'll reply within one business day with a one-page outline — and an honest answer about whether a campaign fits the timeline.

We work one city at a time, in person. If we can't do it properly, we'll tell you.

No obligation. We'll reply with a one-page outline and an honest answer about whether a campaign fits your timeline.

We searched for a company doing this as a business and didn't find one — done-for-you farewell campaigns, ticketed Return Nights, and closing alerts, together. The hard part isn't the technology. It's showing up, in one city, for an owner in the hardest month of their working life. That's the work we do.
