PartyWorks, a Visalia fixture for 41 years, is closing
Parties in Visalia will be a little less festive after Nov. 7, when PartyWorks at 1917 W. Caldwell Ave. closes its doors for the final time. The store has helped decorate local birthdays, graduations, weddings, Halloweens, and Super Bowl Sundays for generations of Visalians. “We're thankful for the 41 years and support of the public,” said Rob Fox, PartyWorks owner, who explained that he is closing his Visalia location because of changing buying habits and current economic conditions in Tulare County.
