Two Chicks District Co. | Good Bones Star to Close Indianapolis Boutique

Mina Starsiak-Hawke, owner of renovation company Two Chicks and a Hammer and star of the HGTV show Good Bones, announced the closing of her Indianapolis boutique on Friday, September 29. Two Chicks District Co. is located in the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood, along with many of the homes renovated by Starsiak-Hawke’s company.

“As a small business, the store has faced numerous challenges, especially during the unprecedented times we opened in, during COVID,” Mina posted on the Two Chicks and a Hammer Facebook page on Friday. “The incredibly difficult decision to close the store is one that I have not made lightly. Being an anchor on our corner alongside The Vault, Lincoln Lane, Big Lew’s Tattoos, BLNKPG and ARC Fitness these last three years has been an honor.”

Fans of the show have a few more chances to shop at Two Chicks District Co. before it closes for good. The boutique will remain open through the end of 2023. Closing sales and discounts will hit the store on October 26, along with a final collection of holiday items. The shop will also host “Meet and Mingle with Mina,” a ticketed “exclusive private shopping experience” on October 7.

Good Bones is currently airing its 8th and final season. The show has brought national visibility and publicity to the city as Mina and her mom and co-star, Karen Laine, have offered their design talents and passion for investing in their community throughout Indianapolis.
