O’Donovan’s Brookfield Market closes amid ‘building issues’

O”™Donovan”™s Brookfield Market, an independently owned grocery and deli at 277 Whisconier Road in Brookfield, has closed after about five years in business.

In a Facebook posting, the store”™s owners apologized to customers for what they described as a “decline we’ve had in the last year or so,” citing temporary closures as the result of “building issues” including frozen pipes and wet ceilings. However, they also acknowledged their “own mistakes as first time business owners” as being part of the decision to shut down.

“We are unable to recover financially and keep the store to the standards we want, and the standards Brookfield deserves,” the owners said on Facebook. “It has been a privilege to be a part of the community and we really appreciate all our wonderful customers and the support you have given us throughout the years.”
