Mid Coast Modern is closing in Westport.
The official last day of the gift shop at 314 Westport Road was Friday, although an employee said owner Matt Bramlette may keep the store open over the weekend to continue the 40 percent discount at the closing of the sale.
Opened in 2015, Modern Central Coast transported household goods, clothing, jewelry, artwork, candles and other gifts. Bramlette also has Bear Soap Co.line that sells soaps, bath bombs, beard oil and body wash.
He told Startland News that he plans to continue with Bear Soap Co. in California, where he will move in a few months.
As of Friday afternoon, there were still plenty of gift cards, candles, and t-shirts for sale. The front window was covered in plywood, the result of a deadly shooting outside the office last Sunday morning.
“Please continue to support local and keep small businesses alive,” the store wrote on its Instagram page. “It’s where the personality of a city lives.”
