The revolving door of changing businesses continues on Washington Street in Hoboken. Two businesses that have called Hoboken home for years announced their permanent closures. Chrissy the Crystal Indigo, a metaphysical shop, will be closing its doors at 423 Washington Street. Neroli, the clothing boutique store at 630 Washington Street, is also closing up shop by the end of the month. Here’s what we know about Chrissy the Crystal Indigo + Neroli closures on Washington Street in Hoboken.
Chrissy The Crystal Indigo
Chrissy The Crystal Indigo is a spiritual mentor and healer who helps people connect with their inner selves to find peace and purpose. Chrissy previously told The Hoboken Girl that she has had special abilities since she was a child. Over the last five years, she has become public about this and uses her gifts to teach others. She provided a variety of services like energy healing, aura photography, mediumship, and more, along with selling crystals, books, herbs, and other products.
Her shop opened at 423 Washington Street in Hoboken in November 2024. Before that, she operated out of 297 Grove Street in downtown Jersey City.
Chrissy The Cyrstal Indigo will be open until March 31st, 2026. She tells HG her rent in Hoboken was getting too high, so she’s moving her shop out of state. No word yet on what will take over the metaphysical shop’s spot on Washington Street.
Neroli
Married couple Behzod Mamadiev and Kamola Abdulhakimova opened Neroli at 630 Washington Street in Hoboken in December 2024. Over the past decade, Behzod worked in various industries, first as a journalist and more recently as a software engineer. Kamola has a deep-rooted love for fashion and a keen eye for the art of retail. She has a degree in Management from Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute and ran her own clothing boutique in Uzbekistan. The couple both came to the U.S. from Uzbekistan and made North Bergen, New Jersey, their new home.
In a message to HG, the owners of Neroli said, “Business has been tough over the last year. Our last day is March 31, the end of this month. We are currently offering 70% off on everything.” No word yet on what will take over the boutique’s space.
Empty Washington Street Storefronts
Stores closing and being flipped into new concepts have become a familiar pattern on Washington Street in Hoboken. At the start of 2026, the HG team counted over a dozen empty storefronts along Washington Street alone. Local real estate experts cited changing consumer habits and national brands expressing interest in the area as reasons for the change.
When older Hoboken business owners sell their businesses and shift to retirement, Bobby Antonicello Jr. with Grid Real Estate says he’s seen national brands expressing interest in those open retail spaces.
“You’re seeing a lot of new buyers come into the market, purchase these buildings from old Hoboken property owners that have been sitting on them for a long time,” Bobby tells HG. “New investors are buying old leases that are expiring and rents have dramatically risen over the past 10 years in this town.”
After checking out several retail spaces listed for lease on commercial real-estate listing platforms, HG found the monthly rent for a commercial space on Washington Street ranges from $6,000 to $10,000 a month, depending on square footage. That’s not to say national brands will always succeed in areas like Washington Street in Hoboken, according to Bobby.
“When the majority of the people that are living in Hoboken are working in New York City or commuting out to the suburbs towards Short Hills Mall. That just seems to make more common sense,” Bobby told HG.
