Tri-Arts Closes Shop on Main Street

There’s another vacant storefront on Main Street in New Port Richey.

Tri-Arts Studio Inc., a commercial printing company, has closed up shop. A banner outside its front door at 5732 Main Street says it has merged with Printing Depot Express.

Business tax receipts filed with the Pasco County Tax Collector list the owner of Tri-Arts as Victor Ramirez, of New Port Richey. Tri-Arts employed two people and was founded in 1971, according to the county documents. 

Business tax receipts Tri-Arts filed with New Port Richey date back to 1988, according to Stephanie Porter, with the city’s Finance Department. Tri-Arts also filed annual reports with the state.

Ramirez could not be reached for comment.

The business’s water hook-up with the city has been shut off, Porter said.

Porter said she learned in recent weeks that Tri-Arts' account has been taken over by another business.

Tri-Arts Studio’s accounts have been handled by Printing Depot Express since June 1, said Stephen Hunt, owner of Printing Depot. Ramirez has retired, Hunt said.

Tri-Arts’ customers are being directed to the Printing Depot at 3307 U.S. 19 in Holiday. Printing Depot also has a store at 3800 Tampa Road #150 in Oldsmar.
