SAN ANGELO, TX – Stango's Coffee Shop announced Saturday that it will be closed starting May 1.
Steve Stango and his crew moved into 221 S. Chadbourne St. 9 years ago and has brought tons of memories to citizens and tourists in downtown San Angelo. Unfortunately due to losses during the pandemic Stango has decided to close down his coffee shop.
"The past year has been very challenging with the Covid pandemic, even though we have picked up over the last few month's, it will take another year or so to recover which right now I just can't do anymore," stated Stango on the Stango's Coffee Shop's Facebook. "I have seen many of my fellow businesses trying to keep their places open and wish them the best in the coming year and beyond."
Stango's Coffee Shop offered not only coffee but ice cream, sandwiches, and pizza. The building was known for it's enormous amount of vintage memorabilia that included signs from throughout the 1900s, pinball machines, an old school juke box, and their infamous fortune teller "Zoltar."
