A local bubble tea shop in downtown Mission is closed for good.
Located at 5832 Johnson Drive, Tea Rex Boba is permanently closed, according to a sign on the door.
Tea Rex Boba closed in August for renovations
- The bubble tea shop announced on Facebook on Aug. 6 that it was closing down for renovations and a complete “revamp.”
- The Facebook post prompted customers to stop by that week for $5 for all boba sizes “while supplies last.”
- Google shows Tea Rex Boba is “temporarily closed.”
- Now, a sign on the front door declares “Store Tea Rex close(d) for good!”
- Tea Rex Boba could not be reached for comment for this story.
The bubble tea shop opened in 2021
- Owner Clay Griggs opened Tea Rex Boba in September 2021.
- He told the Post in November 2021 that he always knew he wanted to own a business, like a restaurant or coffee shop.
- Griggs told the Post he saw a lack of bubble tea options in downtown Mission, which is when he came up with the idea for Tea Rex Boba.
- The bubble tea shop was dinosaur-themed, with drink names like “mangolodon,” a mango and passion fruit mix with mango and passion fruit popping boba.
