Often Wander closing Valencia shop at year’s end
Following on the heels of beloved pizzeria Yellow Moto, which closed its doors at the end of last week, Valencia Street will see another store shutting down at the end of the month. Often Wander, a candles and jewelry store, is closing its shop at 593 Valencia St. on Dec. 31 after six years of greeting customers with their refillable natural soy candles, home fragrances, and jewelry. The business was established in 2012 and moved to Valencia from San Diego.On Monday afternoon, the store at its peak held 10 customers, walking around checking out necklaces and earrings, and sniffing candles. Customers, old and new, told shop owner Sarah Larson how sorry they were that her shop was closing. Larson, however, assured them that this does not mark the end of the store.
