Cleopatra's Closet will be empty soon
By Tara Trenary
Kansan staff writer
A popular downtown boutique is shutting its doors for good, and another restaurant may be added to the many eateries already on Massachusetts Street.
Beth Young, owner of Cleopatra's Closet, 743 Massachusetts St., decided a week ago to close the shop she opened two years ago. She said she hoped that it would not take too long to lease the space.
Young said she planned to spend more time at home with her two year old and four month old.
She said she just had not had enough time with her new baby.
"It's too much trying to be a mom and running a full-time business," Young said.
Kelly Rodriguez, assistant manager, said everything in the store was on sale — clothing, accessories, jewelry and bath products.
Despite the sale, some students are not happy about the closing.
Courtney Loreg, Topea sophomore, said she had been shopping at
Cleopatra's Closet since she moved to Lawrence in 1993.
"They can't be closing," she said. "I shop there all the time."
Maggs Howey, assistant manager of Natural Way, 820-822 Massachusetts St., said she was surprised to hear Young was closing the store.
She said that the two stores were not competitors and that the employees at Natural Way often shopmed on Cleonatr's Closet.
"We kind of work hand-in-hand," she said. "We all feel really sad they are closing."
Young said that about 20 people had been looking at the property, which her husband owns and that they all wanted to open a restaurant.
Mike O'Donnell, representative of the Small Business Development Center, 734 Vermont St., which is a branch of the School of Business, said that the process of finding a space to start a new business downtown, where local people own the properties, is not regulated and can be difficult.
