I live in North Bennington and this situation has resulted in some really ugly comments and tons of speculation being thrown around (on social media and irl). I really don't know enough to take sides per se, but I think it is telling that the Roasted Bean's former employees (not just the one quoted in the article btw) are happy to switch to working for Nick and Lani. I do think it's unfortunate for Angelica, but it seems to me like she hasn't been making good business decisions for some time. Both she and Pangaea handled the social media announcements about this horribly though. A lot of vagueness of Pangaea's part and pettiness on Angelica's. I'm just glad there will still be a coffee shop here in the winter tbh.

But also, lol at the Banner somehow managing to misspell Nick's last name throughout the entire article, but spell it right in Lani's name. Oh, Bennington Banner. 😂

The article seemed biased towards her but then quotes biased towards them. Seems like a real mess.

I was going to say the same thing. All the employees sticking with Pangea. It does say something. Not going to make any judgements though. Building a business, especially when you have very few resources, is harder than hard. Mistakes will be made.
