A North Central Austin food market is closing soon after 10 years in business. Dia's Market & Deli, located at 812 Justin Ln., will close at the end of November, according to an announcement on social media.
Store owner David Hopper wrote a history of the business and an explanation of why the store would close. In it, he said that he and his wife, Amanda, "understood" that the store was in an area that would be developed. However, whether because they miscalculated or circumstances changed — Hopper doesn't say exactly why — that didn't happen.
"As these expectations have not come to fruition and our customer traffic continues to slow, renewing our least unfortunately just doesn't make economic sense," Hopper wrote.
The couple started working on the space in 2014 and opened it in June of 2016. They knew the area well, since they already lived there and had started raising a family, whose names formed the name of the shop (Dylan, Isobel, and Alexander: DIA).
