A legendary adult entertainment store on Cheshire Bridge Road will close its doors for the last time on Thursday.

The owner of Poster Hut, an adult entertainment shop with a 40-year history in the city, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that rent and the economy made it tough to stay in business.

"Maybe if we had a website we could have survived," owner Mike Abbott told the AJC. "I had a guy who's been saying for four years he was going to do it but he never did."

Abbott, who bought the store four years ago, said he received the final eviction notice last week.

Though Cheshire Bridge is known for strip clubs and adult stores, residents in surrounding neighborhoods have pushed to bring in more sophisticated businesses.
