Fiscus announces Aug. 29 closure for The Oak Tree

Jody Fiscus, owner of The Oak Tree at 141 S. Interocean Ave. in Holyoke, announced last week that she will be closing her business Saturday, Aug. 29, after 31 years. The store will be open Wednesday through Saturday each week in August.

While the store has been for sale for two years, the COVID-19 pandemic is what really pushed her over the edge to move toward closure. Fiscus said she stayed home for seven weeks and when she returned to her shop, it didn’t feel right either place. While she has a couple of people interested in her inventory, there is currently no commitment for purchase.
