Made in Corpus Christi, a local business that celebrates all things of the Sparkling City by the Sea, announced Tuesday it will close Wednesday, Jan. 31.
Owner Nikki Riojas posted on her business’s Instagram letting her customers know of the news, about nine years after opening.
“We were welcomed into the community and given a space to introduce some new (and sometimes a little crazy) ideas to the city,” Riojas said in the post. “Because of this, I have met some of my absolute favorite people in the world here.”
She went on to say the reason for the closure of her storefront is so her children can become closer to their family that live in West Texas. Riojas and her family will be moving to Lubbock.
“We miss big Sunday dinners,” Riojas said in the post. “We want them to remember holiday gatherings like we did growing up.”
Since opening Made in Corpus Christi, Riojas has also created three other ventures to help small businesses ― Made in Texas, the Women’s Entrepreneur Society of Corpus Christi and Shop Small Crawl.
