Village Convenience closed its doors yesterday at 124 Second Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place.
Workers cleared out the space, marking the end of an era for the longtime business. (One neighbor said the space has been a convenience store under various names since the mid-1970s.)
There have been signs of distress lately, starting with the store's closure during usual business hours and reopening with a 50%-off sign on the storefront.
While there were unfounded reports that the store lost its license to sell cigarettes and lottery tickets (a lucrative piece of business) after selling to a minor, no official confirmation has surfaced.
