The downtown Niagara Falls business closed over the weekend

A downtown Niagara Falls business is closing its doors for good.

The owners of the Queen Bean Cafe, at the corner of Ontario Avenue and Queen Street, shuttered the doors over the weekend.

In a social media post, they say the last few years have been challenging, and the pandemic has a significant impact.

They add tourism has not fully recovered, and despite best efforts, the difficult decision was made.

The cafe won a number of business awards over the years.
