Cinnaholic, a gourmet cinnamon roll shop, opened in December 2020 in Tyler at The Village at Cumberland Park. On Tuesday, the local eatery announced it is now permanently closed.

There have been multiple business closures, along with some openings and expansions, in the Tyler area over the last month.

Among them:

Cinnaholic

Cinnaholic, a gourmet cinnamon roll shop located at The Village in Cumberland Park, has permanently closed as Sept. 22, according to a Facebook post from owner Jessica Gandy.

The store, situated at 8934 South Broadway Avenue, Suite 420, served its last customers until 8 p.m. on its final day.

Gandy, who was a loyal customer before taking over the business, shared the news with a heavy heart, revealing that the closure follows the recent death of her son. She described the decision as a difficult one to make.

Originally announced for closure in February 2023 due to location challenges, the shop was reopened by Gandy in September 2023. It celebrated its one-year anniversary just earlier this month.

Thee Olde Apothecary

The shop features organic herbs, teas, and spices, along with a variety of other products such as gift items and stoneware bread bowls. The experience of walking into their shop at Canton Trade Days is one-of-a-kind, and now they’ve announced a second location closer.

Their partnership with Painted Tree Boutiques will be located at Cumberland Village shopping center in Tyler. The grand opening is set for mid-December.

With over 250 varieties of herbs, spices, and teas, they offer a vast selection of loose-leaf teas and culinary or medicinal herbs and spices. They also specialize in custom blends, catering to individual flavor preferences and needs.

Once open, Painted Tree Boutiques will be marketplace filled with hundreds of small businesses.
