What was Lucy’s Thrift Shop in Lockhart, Texas? A blast from the past!

Ever wonder what Lucy’s Thrift Shop was? You know. The building located on Borchert Loop off of Texas Highway 142 in Lockhart, Texas? Well this news article will explain a brief summary on history of what this building once was.

Lucy’s Thrift Shop was in 1966 as a grey single story square building by Harvey Schultz for his electrical business. Harvey Schultz sold the building to a female named Lucy Serrato in 1977. This building sat vacant for a couple of years before any plans were by Lucy. Lucy Serrato would eventually turn this building into a thrift shop which she would later run by herself.

Lucy Serrato converted the building into a thrift shop called Lucy's Thrift Shop in 1983. Lucy Serrato ran Lucy's Thrift Shop as she served as both CEO and founder. The building was painted a bright white color. (Ref: Lockhart Post, Page 7, Thursday, September 29, 1983)

The thrift shop closed sometime in 2006. It was abandoned in 2008. Today the building is now vacant. Its current use is unknown. Plans regarding the future of this building are unknown as well.

Lucy’s Thrift Shop is located on 1802 Borchert Loop, Lockhart, Texas, US 78644.
