It is with both joy and sadness that we share some big news with you—The Mouse Trap will be closing its doors as of June 1st, 2025. This has been an incredibly difficult decision, as this little cheese haven has brought us so much happiness, but it's time for us to embark on a new adventure.

After years of sharing our passion for cheese with you, we (Sarah & Steve) are setting sail—literally! Our next chapter includes summers on the water and winters in the warmth of our new home in Mexico. As part of this transition, we will be selling the building and saying goodbye to this wonderful shop that has meant so much to us.

While we had hoped to sell the business and see The Mouse Trap continue under new ownership, this has not been the easiest market for that, leaving us with limited options for exiting. It’s disappointing, but we are grateful for the years we’ve had here and for all the wonderful people we’ve met along the way. While The Mouse Trap will soon be a memory, the work and renovations done to our building at 258 King St. will always leave a nice imprint on downtown. We will always be proud of helping make the downtown just a little bit better—one brick at a time!

A Heartfelt Thank You

We can’t begin to express how grateful we are for your support over the years. Your enthusiasm for fine cheese, your warm conversations, and your loyalty have made The Mouse Trap a truly special place. It has been an honor to be part of your tables, your celebrations, and your everyday indulgences.

We also cannot thank Michelle enough for being such an integral part of building The Mouse Trap into what it is today. Her passion, knowledge, and infectious love for cheese have been a huge part of what makes this shop so special. We know you will miss her smiling face and lively cheese chatter as much as we will. 

While we are excited for our next adventure, we are truly sorry that Midland will be losing this little gem. Thank you for making The Mouse Trap such a special place—we will miss you all dearly.
