Credit: Olivia BeeBilly Corgan‘s Madame ZuZu’s tea shop is closing its doors. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman revealed on his Instagram that the last day of business for the Highland Park, Illinois, store will be March 18.

“We are forced to move for various reasons which involve tenancy, but certainly nothing to do with the strength of the business,” Corgan writes.

Madame Zuzu’s opened in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park in 2012. Corgan hopes to reopen the shop in a new location in the same city, but in the meantime, you can still order tea via MadameZuZus.com.

If you happen to be in Highland Park on March 18, you can stop by Madame ZuZu’s for some free tea and special sales at the shop’s goodbye party.

In addition to finding a new location for his tea shop, Corgan will be very busy this year on the Shiny and Oh So Bright Smashing Pumpkins reunion tour, which begins July 12 in Glendale, Arizona.
