3 closings announced in Huntsville

Unfortunately, as businesses open in the Huntsville area, some will inevitably close. And that is the case with a few local businesses that announced recently they are closing their doors:

• Boot Pizzeria: The Boot Pizzeria on Memorial Parkway will officially close October 18, but will continue to host cooking classes at the location.
• Tangled String: After nearly 14 years in business, Tangled String Studios at Lowe Mill is closing, effective January 1, 2026. Danny Davis, the founder of Tangled Strong, has put together some great shows to finish up the year, however.
• Brewers’ Cooperative: The craft beer/food spot located at Stovehouse closed last December temporarily, but only re-opened for private events this year. The business is now closed permanently, according to signage on the door to the restaurant.
