A popular Goshen restaurant is closing up shop, permanently, amid quarantine struggles. Kelly Jae’s Cafe made the difficult decision to close and not offer carryout food during the quarantine.

Kelly Jae’s has been in downtown Goshen for twelve years. With the governor’s phase in plan the restaurant would have only been able to operate 8 tables in the dining room and none in their bar. She did apply for a PPP loan from the government but did not receive it.
