It's so tough to sit through these economic times in Amarillo. Business after business shutting their doors, several places are unable to find enough workers, so buildings, or the days they're open are slashed.

Things aren't getting any easier, and now Amarillo is losing another business. Now, to be fair, this one isn't necessarily due to the economic conditions, but regardless, it's yet another Amarillo business closing its doors.

La Tapatia Calling It A Day

One of the premier specialty shops is shutting down operations, and it's a bummer for a lot of people. La Tapatia on Grand is in its final week of operations, and the savings are big right now. They aren't closing because they aren't able to stay open, though.

The owners of the shop have decided it's time to slow life down a bit and enjoy it, as they've decided to retire. La Tapatia has been a go-to for many when it came to needing gowns, clothing, and accessories for quinceañas, weddings, proms, and sweet 16 celebrations. Now, you have a chance to take advantage of some HUGE savings.

Large Discounts & A Few Days To Shop

Due to the impending retirement, the store is working on getting rid of all inventory, and because of that, you're able to save big. The retirement sale has been going on for months, but you're down to just a few days to save.

They've got 50% off a huge chunk of the store, and you might even find some bigger deals. This is the last week to be able to take advantage of these savings, though, so run, don't walk, to save. Pay attention to their Facebook page as they are updating it with hours they'll be there and any savings alerts you need to know about.
