Allyson’s Kitchen in Bend's Old Mill District will be closing its doors for good this Friday. Majority owner Lynne Galligan says the recession and debt from the original owners forced the decision: “It's been in the background for the last two years. The former owners had financial difficulty and filed for bankruptcy in January 2009, which is when I took over to see if we could hang on through the recession and get us through this.” At it's peak, Allyson’s Kitchen employed 18 workers. The store sold kitchen supplies and food at its deli.
