Downtown women’s clothing retailer Envy Boutique plans to shutter operations after a liquidation sale.
Jordan Miller, the Springfield store’s assistant manager, on June 5 confirmed the closure.
Miller said the 323 E. Walnut St. store, which employs around five people, will close after its inventory is sold out.
“We don’t actually have a set date. We’re just really trying to get everything moved out,” she said, noting the store has five large clothing racks and merchandise along the walls to be sold. “We’re thinking the end of June.”
Envy Boutique is owned by the Mercurio family. They opened the Springfield store in 2008 and also operate one each in Columbia and Lawrence, Kansas. Miller said the other stores aren’t closing.
Steve Mercurio, one of the owners, said Envy Boutique began retail operations in 2005, and had a fourth location, in Manhattan, Kansas, that closed three years ago.
Edd Akers, Rick Huffman, Tracy Kimberlin and April McDonough participate in the discussion.

Why would an employee ever turn down a $200 a month raise? Jody Dow with The Springfield Dream Center explains the “Cliff Effect” that exists in the state of Missouri for people who are employed and on state or federal assistance. “You may be getting $500 in food stamps, and your raise is only increasing your pay that month by $200. Well, that’s a $300 discrepancy.” In the state of Missouri, assistance is all or nothing. The Dream Center helps workers in this situation learn how to prepare for in advance for a pay increase that results in a gap in monthly income.
