A women’s clothing shop on Park Street is closing, according to its owner.
After saying that L’Armoire would undergo a renovation, Diane Roth conceded in a Facebook post Thursday night that the business at 102 Park St. is at “the end.”
“Thank you for your patronage and thank you L’Armoire for making women more beautiful,” the Facebook post said.
Much of the shop’s merchandise had been removed from the commercial space this week and signs advertising a 75% off sale appeared in its window. Asked about the signs, workers at the store said Monday that it was L’Armoire’s regular spring sale. Told that it was July, they did not respond.
Roth during a phone interview Tuesday said only that L’Armoire has been around for 34 years and that it would be closed for two weeks for a renovation, then scheduled an interview at the shop Wednesday and failed to show.
It isn’t clear why it closed. ‘L’Armoire’ means “the wardrobe.”
Roth had been one of the downtown merchants who voiced opposition to the Pop-Up Park, which last appeared at South and Elm in 2017.
