closed last December
after 38 years as a go-to costume spot for Austinites. The store cited a combination of reasons for the closure, including parking availability, redevelopment plans for South Congress and a loss of vendors during the COVID-19 pandemic. "Our owner, Jenna Radtke, opened the store in 1984 and since then, the store has survived a lot of changes and grown into an Austin institution," read a statement the store."There are not a lot of year-round costume shops in the world and we're very grateful to our customers for their ongoing support. We've loved being a source of creativity and inspiration for your parties, plays, and productions. It has been a pleasure to fulfill your costuming dreams and fantasies.
