Corrales Teas and Chocolates closing March 8, reopening in Albuquerque March 13

Corrales Teas & Chocolates announced Feb. 20 that its village storefront in Corrales will close on March 8 and reopen at a new Albuquerque location on March 13 after the business learned the building it occupies is slated for demolition. The announcement sets a five-day gap between the Corrales closing and the Albuquerque reopening.

The shop first opened in Corrales in 2020, meaning the village storefront will conclude roughly six years of operation when it shutters on March 8. The move shifts the business out of the village where it has operated since its 2020 opening and into Albuquerque beginning March 13.

Owners cited the scheduled demolition of their current building as the reason for the relocation, triggering the timeline communicated to customers in the Feb. 20 notice. That demolition plan directly produced the March 8 closure date and the firm March 13 reopening date in Albuquerque.

The five-day interruption between March 8 and March 13 will be the shortest period in which Corrales Teas & Chocolates pauses retail operations since its 2020 launch, according to the announced schedule. Customers who have relied on the village storefront since 2020 should expect the Corrales location to be closed beginning March 8.

The move transfers the business footprint from Corrales into Albuquerque, with operations slated to resume at the new address on March 13. As of Feb. 25, 2026, the company’s timeline remains a March 8 closure and a March 13 reopening following the building demolition trigger that prompted the relocation.

This change ends the village storefront chapter that began in 2020 and establishes a new operating base in Albuquerque starting March 13, concluding the brief five-day pause in service.
