The Perfectionist: The New and the Nice, a thrift store at 2841 Noble Road, will close its doors permanently on Monday, June 29. 

Owner Marcie Coleman said that the economy was a major factor in the store’s closing. “We don’t have the business, people don’t have any money,” she said.

Coleman is organizing a yard sale on Saturday, July 4 to liquidate the majority of the wares she had in her store.  The sale will be held at Coleman’s residence at 4456 Monticello Blvd. between South Green and Trebisky Roads.

There will be a variety of goods from the store at the yard sale, including vintage jewelry, shoes, televisions and furniture. Coleman plans on having yard sales and posting items on ebay.com until all the wares are sold.

According to Coleman, she has also donated many clothes from The Perfectionist to local nursing homes and charities.

She does not plan on reopening the store in the future, and intends to return to her former profession as a nurse.
