Downtown is bidding farewell to a reinvigorated staple and will soon lose a newer hangout.
White Cross Market, the successor to White Cross Drugs, closed this week, and O Face Doughnuts announced it also would shutter soon.
A specialty coffee shop has debuted in the Las Vegas Valley, and there's a new gallery in the area.
Meanwhile, a California-based restaurant/bar chain has entered the local market.

O Face Doughnuts
O Face Doughnuts announced Monday that it would close by the end of the year.
“Although we are saddened by our closing, we look forward to exploring our options in the New Year,” the company said in a Facebook post.
The downtown shop, which opened last spring in the remade John E. Carson hotel building, drew praise for its unique assortment of donuts.
The reason behind the closure of the business, at 124 S. 6th St., Suite 140, near Fremont Street and Las Vegas Boulevard South, was not immediately available.

White Cross Market
A well-known downtown market is saying goodbye.
White Cross Market closed Wednesday, about two years after the former pharmacy reopened as a grocery store.
The pharmacy, White Cross Drugs, opened in 1955 and filled prescriptions for Elvis Presley and other entertainment icons.
Vickie’s Diner, which is inside White Cross Market, is expected to stay open. The market is at 1700 Las Vegas Blvd. South, near East St. Louis Avenue.
