New Boba shop coming. Did 2 others close? + Tri-Cities trampoline park update
The Tri-Cities is getting a new Boba tea shop, but it looks like two others have closed.
Work is under way at the Boba Lab on Clearwater Avenue in the TT Center shopping center.
The popular drink is made with different types of tea and boba, which are tapioca pearls.
The Boba Lab has a health department inspection pending, but an opening date hasn’t been announced yet. It’s at 4827 W. Clearwater Ave.
Two other Boba tea shops look to have closed. Both Teahaus locations in the Tri-Cities have been shut down for a more than a month.
The Kennewick location near Kamiakin High School, at 5331 Canal Dr. is listed as for sale for $1.55 million.
