Thyme Out Cafe drops off Louisville active food licence list
Money Moves Louisville, KY localCity record missing for two readings; Google marks address permanently closed
Overview
Thyme Out Cafe has disappeared from Louisville's list of active food establishment licences. The record for 2401 Stanley Gault Parkway was last present on November 9, 2026, and absent from two consecutive readings by November 11. The city record dates the licence to January 17, 2017.
A licence can lapse for reasons other than closing, so the missing record is an indication, not confirmation. Google's listing for the address also marks it permanently closed.
Why it matters
A missing licence is an early signal that a neighborhood restaurant may have closed, but it does not confirm closure.

Scenarios
Licence stays off city list through February 2027

Licence lapse proves administrative; cafe returns to active list
Discussed by: Inferred from the city's note that a licence can lapse for reasons other than closing
The missing record turns out to be a paperwork or administrative lapse. Thyme Out Cafe reappears on the active licence list, and the Google closure label is corrected or removed.
New restaurant takes over the address
Discussed by: Inferred from the address and the missing licence record
A different food business obtains an active licence for 2401 Stanley Gault Parkway. That would indicate the address has moved on from Thyme Out Cafe, whether or not a formal closure was announced.
