The Melting Station in Visalia closing

VISALIA, Calif. (KFSN) -- A Main Street staple in Visalia is closing its doors.

It was a place where comfort and creativity came together.

We first highlighted The Melting Station in a small business spotlight.

The owners shared the news on social media, adding that the closure was due to a combination of factors.

They say the business was unsustainable due to rising prices for goods and utilities and it faced high rent and the added costs of being located on Main Street in downtown Visalia.

The owners are now exploring what the next chapter means for the business, including new menu items and fresh ideas.
