Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia

I purchased an item from a business owner yesterday. I paid with a check. The item was not ready to be picked up, so I agreed to come back later that day and pick it up. When I arrived to pick up the item, the store had closed early. When I called the next morning to ask why, the owner told me that she was going to rip up my check, and that I needed to go elsewhere to purchase my item. Can she do that?
