The store had been open for three years at 4020 S. Steele St., #106, staff said during a visit on Friday. Its owner could not be reached for comment.
A staffer said there was an ownership change nine months ago, which resulted in staff turnover. The space is friendly to the LGBTQ+ community with large Pride flags on the windows, a community board and a variety of clothes and accessories.
