Sweet Melissa Closing In Rocky River On May 26

ROCKY RIVER, OH — After 11 years in business, Sweet Melissa will close the doors on its Rocky River location for the last time this month.

In a post on social media, the owners Matthew and Melissa Ullom, wrote that they had decided not to renew their lease. They said the news of their impending closure was "difficult to share."

"You’ve welcomed us into your homes and have invited us to celebrate countless special days with you. That is why we want you to hear this directly from us and why it makes this difficult to share," they wrote on Facebook.

This is the second Sweet Melissa location that has shuttered in as many years. The restaurant opened a University Heights location, near John Carroll University. The location closed in 2018 after about four years in business.

While it's not initially clear what the future holds for Matthew and Melissa Ullom, or the Sweet Melissa brand, the duo concluded their goodbye post on a hopeful note, writing: "Thank you again, for an amazing 11 years in Rocky River! We look forward to seeing you all again soon!"
