Then, about four weeks after that devastating Sunday parking-dispute
story in the local paper:
Gelato shop on Guadalupe closing
New
Mexican, Oct. 11, 2011: O-Gelato on
North Guadalupe Street is apparently closing. Owner David Maple didn't return
calls Monday, but it appeared the shop was being dismantled Monday afternoon. A
man inside the shop declined to comment and referred questions to attorney Karl
Sommer. Sommer confirmed the shop was closing but didn't return calls seeking
more details.
Maple
and his business partner and wife, Shelby Fonley, began selling the icy treat
(which is similar to ice cream) wholesale in Santa Fe in 2007. They opened
their first retail outlet in DeVargas Center in July 2010 and moved to
Guadalupe Street in June.
But
parking issues at the new location proved controversial.
Maple's practice of placing an immobilizing boot on cars of
noncustomers parked in O-Gelato's spots in a shared parking lot in front of the
building prompted complaints from some area residents.
