Abston Enterprise Group owns and operates two Party City locations in the Houston area and said in an announcement on social media the locations in Shenandoah and Humble will remain open under the current franchise owners.
"Anyone that knows me well knows what hardship there has been with retail and with the way the corporation tied our hands. Look at us now ... the ones still standing. Soon we will be free to do what we want and sell what we want and online too," franchise owner Emily Morgan said. "We will have some challenges of getting a whole new system up and going fast, but I’m so excited for what the new year has in store for us."
