Longtime area store TLC Shoppe closes

A local gift shop is closing its doors after serving the community for 22 years.

TLC Shoppe, a gift shop in Clear Lake, recently held a going-out-of-business sale. More than 500 TLC Shoppe customers waited hours to attend the first day of the store’s last sale.

George and Maluan Anderson, the store’s owners since 1988, are retiring.
