Shel-Boze Inc., which sells lighting fixtures and was established in 1953, is closing its store on Wooddale Boulevard Friday, partner Hugh Shelton says. He says they’re also closing a Lafayette location this week. Shelton says he closed Shelton’s Gallery on Bluebonnet Boulevard at the beginning of this month, and closed a location in New Orleans about a year ago. He says the drop in new housing starts is to blame, since his business depends on new home construction.—David Jacobs
