A famous clothing store now makes an unexpected closure at three of its locations after 20 years in business and gaining virality.
Pinto Ranch, a store known for its western clothing, has been in business for over two decades drawing major customers such as A-list rapper Drake.
Despite the store’s popularity, a sign on the Post Oak Plaza location in Houston, Texas, read that the store would be closed until further notice, ABC affiliate KTRK reported.
The clothing store had two other locations in Dallas and Bush Airport in Houston, both of which are now closed.
After being asked about any plans to reopen, owner Guido Caranti told KTRK “We’re looking at that.”
“It is not the time to talk about this with journalists.”
The indefinite closure of the beloved store, which first opened its doors in 2004, proves that the retail business definitely isn’t child’s play.
In 2024 over 3,000 retail stores are expected to close, Business Insider reported.
On June 7, the company posted about a site-wide sale which offered customers 25% off.
However, the orders received seemed to be too much for the company to handle.
“My order got cancelled with no email to [explain] why,” one frustrated customer commented under the post.
“The same thing happened to me,” replied another customer.
Another shopper noted that the website went down for a bit several days ago, but now the website is back up and running.
The account did not reply to any of the commenters complaining about their orders.
Several customers reported showing up to the outfitters on Monday only to be greeted by a locked door.
The customers said there is no store nearby like it.
The retailer drew massive online attention after posting a picture of Drake on its Instagram.

An unexpected restaurant now abruptly closes 7 locations in one state after revealing plans to shutter a total of 36.
TGI Fridays is closing a total of seven restaurants in one state as part of the company’s ongoing growth strategy.
This comes after the chain abruptly closed 36 locations across 12 states in at the beginning of the year, per The-Sun.
The restaurant chain will pull the plug on seven locations across the state of New Jersey in the coming weeks.
Today, Fridays will welcome in famished diners at its location in Brick for the final time.
“As we continue along our path of transformation to revitalize the Fridays brand and implement a long-term growth strategy, we see a bright future for TGI Fridays,” said Weldon Spangler, CEO of TGI Fridays earlier this week.
“We are at the helm of a pivotal moment that will allow us to explore boundless advancement, expansion, and innovation to keep delivering ‘That Fridays Feeling’ that our fans know and love.”
Before the closures, TGI Fridays had about 270 US locations, according to the company’s website.
“As part of the store closures, TGI Fridays is offering more than 1,000 transfer opportunities, which represents over 80% of total impacted employees,” the company previously said in a statement.
“Our top priority has always been delivering a superior experience for each and every TGI Fridays guest, and we’ve identified opportunities to optimize and streamline our operations to ensure we are best positioned to meet – and exceed – on that brand promise,” said Ray Risley, US president and chief operating officer, in the release.
Eight other locations were sold to former CEO Ray Blanchette, a longtime stakeholder who will acquire the previously corporate-owned restaurants.
The sale comes as major changes have been made to the brand’s leadership, including the news of Weldon Spangler being made CEO.
“As we continue along our path of transformation to revitalize the Fridays brand and implement a long-term growth strategy, we see a bright future for TGI Fridays,” said Spangler in a statement.
