Asel Art Supply announced Tuesday onthat it will close its flagship store on Cedar Springs Road on Tuesday, Sept. 20, after more than five decades of business.
The decision to close the store was a hard one to make considering its proximity to downtown and the many corporate partners and companies with whom Asel has worked over the last 54 years. The first Asel Art Supply store opened in 1951 in downtown Dallas in a location that's now occupied by Thanks-Giving Square.
"We're kind of disappointed because we were just getting plugged in," says Liz Wooten, whose son Zeke just started attending nearby Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing Arts as part of the visual arts curriculum."It's less than a mile from the school." "It's hectic," Vaghela says."We're very busy because of a lot of our corporate accounts, but you always end up making good friends with the clientele and they are sad to see us leave."
