Jaya Furniture, located at 902 N. Lamar Blvd., Austin, will close March 28. The adjacent warehouse will remain open through the month of May. The closure is due to hikes in rental and tax rates and increasing online competition, according to co-owner Jackie Hook. She and her husband David opened the store in 1996 to showcase the furniture and art found on their extensive travels. 512-457-1255. ww.jayafurniture.com
