Owner/operator Corey Judd of Cabin 12, a downtown Victoria eatery, couldn’t be any happier after tabulating the results of a fundraising event held on Saturday that saved his business from shutting it doors.

“I can’t begin to describe the day we just had,” wrote Judd via Facebook, coincidentally the same medium where news of the eatery’s financial difficulties was first aired and picked up by VibrantVictoria.ca on November 12th.  Back then, Judd wasn’t as jovial considering financial difficulties had crept up on his business and threatened to close its doors forever.

Although Cabin 12 is an eatery much like any other, Judd’s practice of hiring difficult-to-employ individuals won over the hearts of locals who found the establishment represented much more than just food.  And as a result of the community’s heartfelt support for Judd and his employees, Cabin 12’s fundraising event raised over $4,600.  A little shy of the original $5,000 goal Judd had set, but more than enough to enable the operation to continue.

“The doors swing wide open tomorrow,” wrote Judd as he commented on the Cabin 12 discussion thread on the VibrantVictoria.ca forum.  With the list of positive reviews of the food and the establishments atmosphere growing, let’s hope that those doors remain that way for years to come.

Cabin 12 is located at the corner of Pandora Avenue and Government Street, just steps from the A News television station.
