Bricks 4 Kidz Abruptly Closes Promenade Store

The Bricks 4 Kidz store in The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley is closed while the owners look for a new location, according to the Bricks for Kidz, Lehigh Valley website.

At least one employee of the Bricks 4 Kidz "Creativity Center" at The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley was surprised by the store's abrupt closing recently.

The teenage staff member stopped by the Creativity Center to pick up his paycheck and said he found a pottery shop in its place.

The Bricks 4 Kidz franchise in Upper Saucon Township was opened in July 2011 by Texas native and former Air Force captain Neil Schroder.
