Owners say sale fell through
The Studio @ Beacon will close next week after a seven-year run, with its final class on Monday (Feb. 24).
Laura Leigh Abby, who owns the fitness center with her wife, Samantha Abby, said the couple planned to sell the business at 201 Main St. as of March 1, when a new lease began. But she said the rent went up too much to make that viable.
Except for new owners, “nothing else about the business would have changed,” they wrote in an email to clients. “We would have been here teaching your favorite classes and making your weekend smoothies.” They said they would do their best to reimburse customers who prepaid for classes.
