CHICAGO, April 29 (UPI) -- Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions announced the Oprah Store in Chicago will close next month, shortly after the end of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

The company said the store, located across from its studio, and the Oprah Store kiosk at Chicago's Water Tower Place will close at the end of May, WGN-TV, Chicago, reported Friday.

The shop and the kiosk specialize in Oprah-related items, including apparel from her "O" brand and souvenirs such as umbrellas, coffee mugs and baby bibs. The store also offered items from "Oprah's Closet," a charity project selling clothes and shoes formerly belonging to the talk show host.
