Signs reading: “All must go!” “Multimillion retirement sale” and “Total liquidation” were put up in front window of Flegel’s Design in Menlo Park over the weekend of March 30.

After what appeared to be a comeback, the store at 1010 El Camino Real, Suite 90, will close its doors for good. The business’ “$3 million great retirement sale” begins on Wednesday, April 3, at 10 a.m., according to a voicemail recording from the business owners. The store is closed while it is restocked, the owners said in the message.

The store was originally expected to close at the end of 2023, but owner Brian Flegel told The Almanac earlier this year that the store remained up.

The store, located next to Kepler’s Books, has made custom-made furniture and interior design services for generations.

The Almanac has reached out to the owners for comment.

Flegel’s will be open until 7 p.m. on April 3.
