RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- Fan Tastic Thrift Store on Richmond's Main Street has permanently closed, and the property is now on sale.

The store, located at 1914 W. Main Street in Richmond's Fan District, sold used clothing, shoes, and home goods for years.

On Tuesday, Sept. 30, a sign was visible on the store's door confirming the closure, which suggested that shoppers instead visit another thrift store along Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond's Southside, near the city's border with Chesterfield County.

"This store is permanently closed," the sign said. "Please visit us at Family Thrift Center 5432 Midlothian Turnpike."

One nearby resident, who said she had frequented the store for decades for lower-cost options, said she was in shock and called the closure "the end of an era."
