MINNEAPOLIS -- A family-owned saddle shop will close after over a century of business in Minneapolis.

On Sunday, Schatzlein Saddle Shop along Lake Street announced "with a heavy heart" that the store will close after 115 years in business, adding that it's time for some family members to retire.

"It's been an incredible ride. Ultimately we would love to stay open, but at this time it is not possible. What's carried us on so long are all of our valued and loyal customers who have shopped at Schatzlein's for so long," the Facebook post said. "We will be sad to see the store close and will miss seeing each and everyone of you and know you will too."

Dear friends and valued customers, It is with a heavy heart, we have decided the time has come to close Schatzlein...
