24th St. Cheese Co. Is Closing

File this under "all good things must come to an end": After 36 years, the beloved 24th St. Cheese Co. is closing. Owner Charles Kung is looking to sell the business and in the meantime everything in the store is 30% off. Judging from the small crowd that was there today, plenty of folks are looking to stock up on their favorites including wine, chocolate, pasta and other things that pair well with cheese. 

Here's hoping someone does buy the business - Noe Valley needs a good cheese shop. The store will be open until the cheese runs out, or someone buys the business.

Not to be cheesy but thanks for 36 great years, Charles - and see you around the neighborhood!
