Why did the 212 The Boiling Point in Brandon, South Dakota Close?

The reason for closure remains unknown. At the time of the shocking announcement, loyal visitors of the 212 The Boiling Point were sad to see them go. Here are some of the initial reactions:

This one stings, I thoroughly enjoyed working for this place the years I got to bartend/serve the people of Brandon and the surrounding area.

Not gonna lie this one stings a bit. The amazing friends Adam and I now call family we have met there is priceless including the owner! It will be missed for sure love to all

We are sad to see this announcement. Thank you 212 The Boiling Point for your great service to our Brandon Valley Area community! Best wishes in your new endeavors.

In a surprising twist, the 212 The Boiling Point made a post on its Facebook page hinting at a return.

Thanks to new ownership, the 212 The Boiling Point has officially welcomed Sioux Empire bar-goers earlier this month. They even had a soft opening to celebrate. Needless to say, the town of Brandon was happy to be at their favorite hangout spot again.
