Four businesses in the Spring-Klein area have closed in recent weeks, taking a family-owned fabric shop, a Tex-Mex restaurant, a local pizzeria and a national retail chain off the map.

Community Impact Newspaper first reported the closures Oct. 19.

Cupcake Quilts

Cupcake Quilts, a family-owned fabric shop that operated for nearly 11 years, closed after announcing its shutdown in an Aug. 12 Facebook post. The store thanked its "customers, friends and quilting community" for years of support, according to Community Impact. Sept. 30 was the last day to shop in the store.

The business sold fabrics, kits, patterns, threads and gifts, according to its website. A closing sale offered 40% off in-store purchases, though furniture, fixtures and machines were excluded, Community Impact reported.

Lupe Tortilla

Tex-Mex chain Lupe Tortilla closed its Spring-area location near Champion Forest Drive. A notice posted on the restaurant's door thanked customers and pointed them to locations in Tomball and Spring near Interstate 45 North, according to Community Impact. The Champion Forest Drive location opened in 2016, per previous Community Impact reporting.

Slice of Venice

Locally owned pizzeria Slice of Venice, founded by Inna Klebanskaya in January 2025, served its last customers Oct. 18. The restaurant announced its closure in an Oct. 7 Facebook post, according to Community Impact.

"Unfortunately, after almost two years of giving everything we have to make Slice of Venice work, we are no longer able to keep our doors open," the restaurant said in the post.

The pizzeria was known for scratch-made pasta and pizza.

The Container Store

National home-organization retailer The Container Store closed its Spring-Klein location, according to a note on the storefront's door. The note directed customers to three other area stores or online shopping, Community Impact reported.

The Container Store's parent company, Beyond Inc., announced in May the launch of co-branded stores combining The Container Store with Bed Bath & Beyond merchandise. The company has said it expects to eventually operate more than 300 stores across multiple formats nationwide.

No reason was given publicly for any of the four closures. The spaces they leave behind have no announced tenants.
