Here’s the rundown: a family-run jewelry store in Castle Hills is closing, and a new pet store and bakery cafe are among the new spots opening in the area.
Peñaloza & Sons, a jewelry business at 2001 NW Military Highway, is closing because the owners are retiring. Charles Peñaloza, the son of a Mexican immigrant from Yucatán, started the business in 1958. His sons Paul and Phillip Peñaloza took over after their father’s death in 2002.
The family has made jewelry for celebrities such as Carol Burnett, Debbie Reynolds and Bob Hope.
“It makes you feel a little old when you're selling something to a grandchild when you sold the original wedding set to the grandparents,” Paul Peñaloza said in a statement. “But it makes you feel good inside — those long-standing relationships we have established through the years.”
