Twitter was abuzz with rumours Sunday night that London’s self-dubbed most interesting store is closing its doors.

Downtown London mainstay Novack’s has been in business for 73 years. Store owner Paul Caplan said Sunday night he would make an announcement about the future of the store on Monday.

Novack’s opened its doors in 1939. It sells books, clothing, shoes, travel and outdoor gear as well as funky and goofy gifts.

As rumours about the store’s possible closing spread on Twitter, people expressed sadness and surprise.

Twitter user @handsomemike wrote “I’m going to miss @novacks. Having said that, we all should have shopped there a little more... #ldnont.”

Another person, @Canucklehead_ca wrote: “RIP @novacks. A #LdnOnt landmark to be sure. I miss you already. All the best!”

Novack’s also operates a tour division and a uniform division.

@StuartClark wrote late Sunday: “Best thing to do will be to wait for a formal announcement tomorrow for the details. #novacks.”
