Cadillac's Castle has closed on East 9th Street

Several readers have noted that Cadillac's Castle, the consignment/thrift shop, has closed at 333 E. Ninth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

There wasn't any word about the closure. A neighbor mentioned that the shop, named for the owner's dog who was a familiar presence in the store, is now empty, and there isn't any note on the gate for customers. The shop had been here since 2001, when the owners moved to this spot after running another shop across the street.

There is a listing for the storefront. "Ideally suited for a retail use given the current installation is move in ready but all uses will be considered for qualified users." The rent is negotiable. Jared Kushner bought this property and other adjacent buildings from Icon Realty in February 2013.

There's also an empty storefront next door to Cadillac Castle that Fabulous Fanny's gave up as they consolidated spaces.
