Tabitha was bought out by Pandoras box. I was surprised that the SEC let it fly.

* It is now a Starbucks.
* It was discovered that Tabitha was not Fab... only Fab-ish... and traffic started to dwindle.
* When Pandora's Box opened... all sorts of bad things started happening to Tabitha.
* One too many people asked her for the "Book of 1001 Card Tricks"... She'll re-open once her prison term is up.
* Tabitha invested all her money in her new softdrink "Curse-a Cola"... It failed despite her catchy ad slogan "The taste of a New Mutation!"
* The re-emerging Midnight Squad signed an exclusivity contract with Pandora's Box... Tabitha responded by signing one with the Paragon City Chapter of the Harry Potter Fan Club.
* Tabitha's horrible fight with Pangeon Soil addiction.
* Desperate sales gimmicks like "Buy a book and we'll throw in a magical creature for free!" didn't work... although making the magical creature a Bookworm MAY have had something to do with it.
* There was some Origin confusion... the "We'll download our spellbooks onto your Ipod" promotion may have contributed to that.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
She was taking out some magical trash to the dumpster behind Talos, and there was this Stunner Chief....
As you know, electricity and magic do not mix. Or rather, should not mix; they in fact mix all too easily.
The El Super Mexicano sign was installed temporarily as a distraction, by the cleanup people that had to be brought in. It served its purpose of drawing eyes away from the dull red stain.....

There was a time when the stores images were overwritten by the El Super Mexicano restaurants. The interiors were the same, but they didn't have the sign, it was the food place sign instead. Thus, gags about buying certain enhancements at a fast food place... badump bump?

This happened when they added the ragdoll physics to the game. All of the magic store signs were replaced with a new version that could swing if you bumped into it. Previously the signs for the two magic stores had slightly different dimensions but only one size was made for the new swingin' version. Instead of reworking the textures for both shops, they apparently decided to give Tabitha the boot instead.
She now lives in a hollowed-out tree trunk in Croatoa with a pet pumpkin.

It's disappointing, as I liked the Tabitha Fabish name.

Even though the real reason was posted, my joke reason was:
"She went out to make a deposit and asked Azuria to watch the shop. While she was gone, Hellions stole it."

Oh the horror....
There used to be different names for the DO and SO stores on the hero side in Paragon City. For instance, the mutant DO store is Subgenetics, and the mutant SO store is Biotechnix.
The magic DO store used to be Pandora's Box, and the SO store was Tabitha Fabish. But now they're both Pandora's Box. Why?
Tabitha Fabish and a cute whimsy about it, and sounded like the nutty old Witch you'd go to for all your magical needs. I liked it a lot, and miss it being in game.
So why is it gone? And is it going to be changed back?
I imagine this happened when all the magic stores were turned into El Super Mexicanos back a few issues ago.
