After 11 years, Amia Boutique in downtown La Salle will soon be closing its doors.
“Running Amia has been a truly uplifting and inspiring journey, and I am beyond thankful for every single supporter who has stood by me and our business,” owner Christine Pellegrini posted to Amia’s Facebook page Friday. “Your encouragement has meant the world to us, and I am forever grateful for the connections we’ve built.”
Pellegrini shared the closure is due to a stage four colon cancer diagnosis.
“This decision has not come easily, but I must prioritize my health right now. However, I hold a hopeful vision for Amia’s future and would love to see the brand flourish under new ownership,” she posted.
Pellegrini asked anyone interested in the business, 633 First St., to reach out. The store will remain open until inventory is sold.
