Performance Studios closes physical space

Venerable costume shop Performance Studios — perhaps known best for its selection of Halloween-related masks, outfits and makeup — has permanently ceased operations at its Antioch-area building.

The physical address of the now-closed business, which had been impacted by COVID-19, is 5350 Mt. View Road. Announced on the business’ website, the closing — first reported by Fox 17 — comes after former Performance Studios owner Gary Broadrick in late 2018 paid about $3.53 million for a roughly 2.2-acre property from which the retail shop previously had operated at 523 Thompson Lane near One Hundred Oaks and Berry Hill.
