The shop recently posted a final sale with decks going for $50, shop decks for $35, shoes at $50 or two for $80, headwear for $20, shorts for $15, and other items heavily discounted.
It did not take long for skaters to clean out the shop.
Faces later confirmed that the storefront was officially closed, thanking everyone who came through.
The closure also points to a bigger issue in skateboarding.
While corporate mall stores continue making money from skate products, independent core shops are having a much harder time staying open.
These local shops have long been important places for skaters to buy gear, meet people, and support their scene.
Faces says this is not goodbye, with more updates on its future coming soon.
