LUX by Mitzy closes downtown Mission storefront

LUX by Mitzy, a downtown Mission local makers’ shop, is now closed.

The local makers’ shop opened only a year ago at 6124 Johnson Drive — but owner Mitzy Romero said LUX isn’t going away for good.

The local makers’ shop is moving

  • Romero has yet to announce the new location.
  • The announcement was made via Facebook on Feb. 23, two days before LUX by Mitzy’s last day in Mission.
  • “As of right now, we are working on final details about our new space,” Romero wrote on Facebook. “I am so excited for this new space, I have a ton of ideas and I cannot wait to share with you all.”

LUX by Mitzy needs more space

  • Romero told the Post the reason LUX is moving is for more space for the local makers’ shop.
  • She said she wanted a bigger space to continue hosting private event nights.
  • The Mission storefront only fit about 12 people, and both vendors and customers wanted something bigger, she said.
  • “I knew from the first day I stepped into our current location that eventually we would need a bigger space, but I didn’t imagine it to be so soon,” Romero wrote on Facebook.

No new tenant is coming to the storefront just yet

  • Robyn Fulks, Mission city clerk, told the Post via email Monday that no new business has applied for a license for the space at this time.
  • Fulks said that because of this, she has no information about a new tenant for the space.
  • Before it was LUX by Mitzy, 6124 Johnson Drive was formerly the home of Yoga Fix Studio.
