Someday Community Meeting notes
Ron Newman wrote up an excellent summary of the meeting.
In a nutshell:
- Peter Creyf, the owner of Mr. Crepe, signed the lease to the space that the Someday occupies. That lease apparently is written such that it could be transferred to the proposed employee-run co-op.
- He’s willing to transfer the lease to them if alternate space can be found, though he stressed that the chance is very small. However, the mayor, Joe Curatone, showed up, and the meeting was moderated by alderman Rebekah Gewirtz, and both have pledged to help Creyf find alternate space.
- If alternate space isn’t found within 7-10 days, Creyf will start doing the building work to turn the Someday into Mr. Crepe beginning August 1, hoping to open by September 1. He didn’t seem too hot on the idea of merging the two businesses (someone suggested “Mr. Someday”).

mr. creyf also f-d over a business partner a few years ago,when Mr. crepe was in davis. (where Daves fresh pasta is now.) Mr. Creyf slowly weeded out the man who was supposidly his partner… responsible for all of the recepies and most of, if not all, of the business plan.
Mr. Creyf was sued and in a lawsuit that lasted about 3 years, lost. but got to keep the name. he’s not a very trustworthy man..
that’s all i have to add.
