The '''Lucketts Store''' is a home goods store and showroom located in Lucketts, Virginia. It was built in 1904 and run by the eponymous Luckett family as the local general store and post office until its closure and abandonment in 1960. It was renovated in 1996 and reopened as an antique store, originally called '''Lucketts Store Antiques''' and '''The Old Lucketts Store'''. It specializes in "vintage hip" merchandise, with vendors supplying antiques as well as home and garden decor. A vintage-themed fair is hosted every October and May on the Clarke County Fairgrounds in Berryville, Virginia under the Lucketts name, and a design house is opened every November on the store property. Similar stores were later established in the area.
