Cafe Cork & Canape to close this month

WICHITA — Cafe Cork & Canape, which has been in business in Wichita since the late 1970s, is closing at the end of February.

"It's just a whole lot of things that have brought us to this point," owner Roxanne Filby says.

Her lease at Prairie Village at 13th and Woodlawn is up at the end of February.

"I don't want to sign another lengthy lease again," Filby says.

That's because her husband, former Sullivan Higdon & Sink employee Jeff Filby, is looking for work, and the couple may need to move.

"People are like, 'Thank God you have your business,' but I'm like, 'Yeah, but . . . . It's not making much money."
