gene Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I am surprised there isn't a thread already regarding this super cool and kooky shop that happens to be one of my favorites in all of Houston! Sadly, a guy named Jonathan Jindra walked into the shop last week with 2 cans of gasoline, poured it all over the store near the entrance and set it ablaze... now they have a GoFundMe set up... https://www.gofundme.com/f/please-help-us-rebuild-the-wilde-collection?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&rcid=6b3b3524d42c43898c28d272f67908b3&fbclid=IwAR0hrX6RL12uGWbl-XRsvOOHM-iPIQePd8BP_ijJ9LBnUQtB3H4SOfoa-dc More Info here: https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/this-loss-incredibly-incredibly-devastating-wilde-collection-co-owner-posts-heartfelt-message-after-fire-destroys-store/285-23a30084-696e-4329-8c7e-370213928d57 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Bumping this thread. Please support the Wilde Collection. They met their goal of $50k for donations, but they really need more than that to be able to rebuild quickly and stay in business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from the exterior, it looks like not much, if anything, has happened since the fire. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) So a for sale sign has popped up in front of the former Wilde Collection - a lot of bulk trash was left out on the curb facing Yale last fall and it’s been empty from a parking standpoint- so this recent sale sign tracks. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1446-Yale-St-Houston-TX-77008/2060007351_zpid/ Very curious what takes its place.
