Beloved Coop's West Texas BBQ closes after 13 years

[@allupnya6868]

Thank you Coop!

[@monsterpig3270]

Soon the only options we will have is either Starbucks or Chipotle.

[@taylormade710]

Coops will be missed. But closing by 3 pm daily didn’t help him recover. Many working families don’t get off work till after 3:30 so having coops for dinner is not possible. Many businesses had to alter their menu and raise prices to keep in business.

[@iamkarlwithak]

I drive by there 2 or 3 times a week for the past month or so and never see anyone in line. Made me wonder how long this could go on. There are numerous places that are having the same issues. These are tough times and it will only get worse. I just went out for a quick snack and got hit with inflated prices, 1.5% surcharge and 18% tip. $52 for food that cost only $36 a couple years back. Fortunately it was happy hour and I got a bit of a discount. So much for a “free sundae”. 🙏💪🌍🌎🌏❤️🇺🇸🖖

[@ShyPixieGirl]

Coops is amazing and so delicious. I'm sad to hear about the closing.

[@tornoofo17]

Hey cool! Me and my mom made the cut! Thank you Mr. Cooper for serving the community for so long!

[@ALLworldCONSTRUCTIONLLC]

Gotta raise prices to match inflation before this ends up happening to your business too

[@wileecoyote5749]

That was the problem snapperhead. People will stop coming

[@Themanisred]

He could have sourced his pork locally here in ramona. There are many people out here.That process their own animals at very affordable prices. I'm pretty sure that's where fat anthony's gets their pork from. You can get beef out at santa ysabel. Grass fed you can watch the cows walking around. You'll forget about this out here.We're out here farming and ranching. Right here in san diego county. Ya'll drive out here to get that expensive pie. Lol. Stop off and get some barbecue too. Don's market in santa ysabel Has a local beef. They make their own sausage. It always have stuff in the case.It's ready to go right into the oven or on the barbecue. San diego you don't know what you're missing.

[@preciousowusu7743]

So many restaurants are closing.

[@truthsquestions1532]

Do you have a branch in Massachusetts

[@shrugrug7172]

This is what happens when you don't support local small businesses.

[@tommyf540]

This is what happens when unnecessary laws and taxes are imposed on businesses. He mentioned Prop 12 as a reason for his business failing.

[@BegodeCrashtestdummy-l3z]

Build back better strikes again

[@truthseekingtroll3575]

This is what happens when you raise the minimum wage.

[@MrJuvefrank]

People don't listen to me when I tell them about things like that.

[@CherryClayton]

This is why new leadership is needed in this country. This inflation was way out of control, where you can't make living anymore

[@Themanisred]

RFK Jr 2024 get your independence going. 😊

[@aslo4812]

Oh man you're gonna be missed. I'm sorry for not stopping in more often. Really its the location was far from my house. Please don't let this be the end. Maybe a lunch truck or a different location might do much better.

[@volcom05345]

I loved their sweet tea 😢

[@MrJuvefrank]

"High inflation and low business." That forces people to pay more for the best food, or lose access to the best food.

[@averagealienSD]

Noooo! I was just talking about this spot rhe other day and looking to go soon 😢

[@SaunieHolloway]

I'm gonna miss Lupe the most😢

[@adeand4310]

Damn that sux ,they made great tasting food,it will be hard to find a replacement

[@chrisbrimhall1613]

So nice our government doesn’t care about small businesses

[@Errr717]

What do you expect the government to do? It's the business owner's decision to make cause he obviously can't make any money based on current economic conditions. I'm guessing he's already raised his prices up to the point that customers aren't coming in.

[@DanielRojas-nw3mv]

@@Errr717Joe kaKA stopped the keystone pipeline from Canada maybe is part of the inflation?🤔🇺🇸

[@Brainbaskit]

Pretty sure you shop at Walmart, so...

[@jonblaze30]

​@@Errr717the government is why inflation is ridiculous

[@buckskin64]

Can’t afford to eat BBQ, Thanks Democrats!!!

[@aaronmaclean4464]

ask Brad who he's voting for in November. I'll wait.....

[@Bellman84]

Sad to hear. Good food at Coop’s.

[@James-ke5sy]

You don't really need to close now. Free advertising , people now know about. Too bad you're closing down. I would have gone if I had even known about it.

[@ll4680]

Thanks Biden!

Way to go Bidenomics hard at work to destroy the American dream. Vote trump 2024!

I don't want to vote for politicians. I want to vote we don't want any of them.

[@Bdoodee]

@@MrJuvefrankand that’s your right. But when everything goes to hell in a handbasket and you stand on the sideline then you forfeit all right to lament.

[@NickyAlii]

So many businesses are closing in texas😮

[@DirtfootWoodworking]

It’s in California. Their hours were 10:00 am - 3:00 pm. closed Mondays. That had more to do with loss of business than anything else as most locals work in other areas of the county. My favorites were the collard greens and the sweet potato pie.
