Auction of Pacchia contents to have ‘no impact’ on coffee shop, owner says

By Mark Fisher | Wednesday, February 3, 2010, 12:37 PM

The kitchen equipment and dining room furnishings of the former Pacchia restaurant are being sold through online auction, but the owner of the new venture says customers of the Oregon District coffee shop will not notice any impact.

“The auction will not affect our ability to operate the coffee house, or our ability to move forward with the new restaurant,” Brian Higgins said this morning, Feb. 3.

The items that are being auctioned through Feb. 14 include sinks, refrigerators, a dishwasher, gas stoves, dining chairs, dining tables and other items. Items must be removed Feb. 15.

The auction is part of the separation of the former owners of Pacchia, Stephen Ramsey and Carla Carnahan, from the current business, which is owned by Higgins, according to both Ramsey and the building’s owner, Dr. Michael Ervin. Higgins later this year will move his Sidebar cocktail lounge to the former Pacchia location at at 410 E. Fifth St. and develop a full-service restaurant there. The establishment’s coffee shop reopened Jan. 11 and has not yet been formally named.

Higgins said he will likely bid on some, but not all, of the former Pacchia equipment, and has backup coffee-related equipment available so that there will be no interruption of service at the coffee shop.
