It's been a rough month for businesses in Southeast Minnesota.  Primp in downtown Rochester, Minnesota closed abruptly at the start of the month.  A popular restaurant said it was "forced to close" in Byron.  And a movie theater that has been part of the Rochester landscape for 22 years announced it was saying goodbye.  Sadly, another business is getting added to the "closed" list.

Just over a year ago, the delicious news of another ice cream and smoothie shop opening hit the Rochester, Minnesota area.  Bombon opened in March 2023 at 2571 Clare Ln NE Suite 101 near Century High School.  Unfortunately, it appears as if your chance to grab a waffle cone full of ice cream here is no longer possible.
