"After opening its first brick-and-mortar two years ago, Lake Highlands Creamery has announced that it will be forced to close up shop. According to an announcement posted on the creamery’s Facebook page, the property owner at 9660 Audelia Road #121 increased the creamery’s rent by three times because 'the new landlords decided they wanted to use our space to bring in an upscale coffee shop,' writes owner Sean Brockette. 'We just can’t justify or absorb that cost so we are giving up our current space.' Brockette’s shop is just the latest in a series of Dallas restaurant casualties resulting from drastic increases in rent, including Mesero’s abrupt closure on Henderson Avenue." - Alaena Hostetter
