What may at first sound like another sad story about a shop on Main Street going out of business is actually great news for Brown’s on Main owner David Brown.
“It’s totally good thing,” Brown said.
After more than 30 years in the retail business, Brown said it’s time for he and his wife, Kathy Scales Brown, to retire and travel. The store closed its doors officially on Saturday.
“I’ve been working seven days a week for many, many years,” Brown said. “I know customers will be disappointed to see it go but it’s all a good thing.”
Brown said that his 5th Street antique shop will remain open, and that any merchandise leftover from the Main Street store will go there.
The building that houses Brown’s on Main was sold to Greek’s Pizzeria owner Mike Cole, who will expand his pizza franchise.
“The front half of the property will be a rental unit and the back half we are going to split between a party room and banquet room for Greek’s and more storage and kitchen space,” Cole said in an email to Current. “It was what my wife and I have wanted for awhile and a good investment in Zionsville.”
