ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Another longstanding Nob Hill retailer has reached the end of its road.

Nob Hill Furniture will be closing its store at 3701 Central NE after a quarter-century in business. Liquidation sales have begun, with the store likely to shut down by April, according to owner Tamara Mahboub.

She said the business she and her husband started in the early 1990s had never fully recovered after the Great Recession — the downturn even prompted them to shut a satellite location on Menaul Boulevard a few years ago — but that the onset of Albuquerque Rapid Transit construction helped hasten its demise.

Mahboub said she had not yet calculated the dropoff the store experienced since the work started last fall but that it was painful. She said community and media discussions about construction and traffic seemed to keep customers at bay, saying her store felt like a “morgue.”

“The last two months, there’s no way I could keep going like that,” she said.

The news comes less than two weeks after Nob Hill lifestyle boutique Hey Jhonny confirmed its plans to close after more than 20 years. The neighborhood has sustained a series of retail losses in the past three years, including a number of shops that had been in business for decades. Hey Jhonny’s owner said ART did not help matters, but said his store had suffered several years of declining sales — something he blamed largely on the surge in online shopping.

The Mahboubs own their space, which measures about 4,200 square feet, and will likely be looking to lease it to a new business. Tamara Mahboub said she may one day reopen the furniture store in another location.

“I know that this location I can’t make it (work) for furniture. I think it would be great for entertainment — all kinds of other things,” she said.
