(KRON) — Ayesha Curry’s store in downtown Oakland, Candy July, is ready to shut its doorways in February as a result of security issues, in keeping with the corporate.
The sudden shuttering of the Oakland retailer and cafe, positioned at 455 twenty third Road, was introduced “in order to prioritize the safety of our patrons and staff,” a submit to social media stated on Saturday.
