ReFillanthropy opened on East Bayaud Avenue last year, but on Tuesday morning, the front half of the shop was set on fire.
Muck and her business partner, William Mathewson, said the area is a hotbed for crime, drug use and homelessness. The business owners were the victims of arson back in February, where a man set fire to their front door and then went to the Ross-Broadway Library next door. Farris cited constant drug use and homeless encampments near the library as the reason for closing down her shop. She started Coco Coquette in 2019, and although she still has several months left on her lease, she said enough is enough.
"It's not our issue," said Martinez."This is not a Denver Public Library issue. This is a societal issue.”
