TAMPA - Karen Winter- Christy stood at the checkout counter of Christian Armory and happily surveyed her purchases: framed art, DVDs, books, posters, pens, CDs.
``I think I may have dropped about $400 in total,'' she admitted, noting that this was her second trip to the store in one day. ``But look at these bargain prices! At 40 percent off, this is a great deal.''

Business may seem brisk, but shoppers snapping up liquidation deals are too little too late for the 20-year- old Christian supply store. Owners Bobby and JoAnn Tebo are closing their Carrollwood store Saturday.

They are not alone. Little Flower, which caters to Catholics in Carrollwood, closes in May to make way for a new Lowe's home improvement store. And Just for Heaven's Sake, a Catholic retailer in south Tampa, is for sale.
