The post said “Today I unfortunately am tasked with announcing that I will be closing Copper Brick Market. This has been one of the hardest decisions I have had to make. The market has been a dream of mine since I was a teenager. I’ve been collecting all of my displays and furniture since I was 15 and having to say goodbye to this feels like a part of me is disappearing. Almost 20 years of my life working towards the market will come to an end when I was planning for it to go on for at least another 20 years. I want to thank everyone who helped me along the way to get to my dream and thank those of you who supported the market since I opened the doors. I got to meet so many awesome people over the past 2 years and it’ll be rough not being able to continue that.” 

Fans of the market may be able to find Cat again soon. She said “While it feels like an ending it is my sincerest hope to pivot and be able to bring the market to life in other ways—online and pop ups have been floating around in my head. I would like to at least carry on some of my dream into the future. So, if you’re up for hanging on for the ride, just keep following the socials to see what I can figure out!”
