Sorry West Seattle, that brick-and-mortar Charlie’s Buns N’ Stuff isn’t happening anytime soon.

Veronica Weaver says she has pulled out of the lease at 5214 Delridge Way owing to issues with the lessor. "The landlord and I couldn’t come to an agreeable solution to make his location suitable and functional for a restaurant." Weaver added she was "kind of glad," as the process proved difficult from the start. "I believe everything happens for a reason."

The food truck owner is still planning to open a restaurant, it’s just a matter of when and where. She’d like to remain within West Seattle, but "if it doesn’t seem like anything will happen here, I will be looking at backup locations. At this point I am very busy with other events and catering, so it’s not a big rush."

She’s also quite consumed with launching a concession stand on Green Lake, which should transpire in the foreseeable future.
