LIBERTY — Art’s Town and Country, a store that provided a variety of goods on the outskirts of Liberty, has closed.
The last day of business apparently was May 31. Owner Art Jordan was unable to be reached for comment as the phone number for the store is no longer in service.
The store had been in operation for 13 years at 6976 N.C. 49 North.
In a social media post from the store, the management expressed appreciation for the loyalty and support from customers.
“We have fostered many friendships and observed numerous children grow into mature adults,” the post also said. “Liberty is what small town living is all about so please continue to shop local. We will keep you posted on what door opens next and we’ll see you around town!”
The store was described as an old-fashioned country store. There was an array of products from crafting supplies, seasonal decorations and antiques to candy, meats and glass bottled drinks.
There was a push to sell items in advance of the store’s closing based on social media announcements in May.
