Laser cut and interior design space AALVO is opening its first storefront in March. The store opened online in 2018, but is now set for a physical storefront that startup owner Amy Chantra hopes will provide a space for Houston creatives and provide another way for customers to reach her.

“I want to create a fun, light environment,” Chantra said in a Jan. 30 interview.

The 1,500-square-foot space at 13003 Murphy Road, Suite M7, in Stafford will feature Chantra’s laser cutting services and interior design skills, while also providing event space for photographers, bakers and other “creatives” that Chantra said will hopefully use the space. Chantra holds a B.A. in Interior Design and a Masters in Architecture from the University of Houston. www.shopaalvo.com
