The company announced the closure Wednesday afternoon on its Facebook page.
“Dear friends due to multiple circumstances the Habigs have made the decision to close the 52nd and College location and consolidate our efforts to our Nora and Carmel stores,” the business said in the posting. “There is no one reason or blame. It is the best way for us to continue moving forward with our business, our employees, our customers and our friends.”
In a separate post, the company said that the Meridian-Kessler store’s staff and its “beloved cat Marley” are now at Habig’s Nora location at 1225 E. 86th St. Habig also operates a Carmel store at 15311 N. Meridian St.
A fourth Habig store, at 1105 N. Arlington Ave. just north of Irvington, closed in 2015.
The company was founded in 1953 by Frank Habig, whose four children now run the business.

Love and best wishes to you and your family. You have truly been the best garden shop, and thankful your other locations will remain open.
Just great another family Buisness gone.
Great Job Mayor you know you and Gov couydo more for ALL small Buisness.
It has been a record setting year for garden stores everywhere…
This can’t be related to anything happening in the last year IMO
Great family business. I’m sure the remaining locations will be fine
Unbelievable that the property is only assessed for tax purposes at $118,700. The upside is that it should sell for a significantly higher price which then will result in more tax revenue for the city.
…except that this property is in the Midtown TIF. Any increase in assessed value will result in more tax revenue for that TIF fund.
That address and location are Westfield, not Carmel.
