closing

We are in the process of moving out of state, so this was likely our last meal there. My wife and I used to enjoy watching sports, sharing a plate, drinking some Zaccagnini, and chatting with the bartender at the Twin Falls' location.

I am so incredibly sad to announce that Tomato's Italian Grill has made the announcement that they will be closing the doors this month. I am happy for the owners because that means the building sold and they can move on with other plans.

If you have been to any of the Twin Falls farmers markets or events like Vintage Vixens, you probably have seen the Idaho Creations Wine Barrel company. They create beautiful and amazing things out of used wine barrels. They are officially closing.

Red Lobster is known for its budget-friendly combination seafood plates. The company's locator map still lists Idaho Red Lobster restaurants in Boise, Lewiston and Coeur d' Alene.

It makes me so sad when businesses close up shop. Christa's Dress Shoppe and Tuxedo has made the announcement that they are closing their doors permanently. The shop will be closing after 16 years so the owner can retire.

All of the store's merchandise, which includes kayaks, camping gear, shoes, boots, skis, outdoor clothing and more, will be sold off.

Chico's is the second Twin Falls store offering clothing and accessories to announce a closure in two months.

This week Shopko announced it would close all existing stores after the company was unable to find a buyer to continue the business.

We all know the days of going to the mall have changed quite a bit with the convenient trend of online shopping. Amazon changed the retail world as we knew it, but it seems like one by one the brick and mortar stores are filing for bankruptcy and disappearing.
