The Store-Oldies and Goodies

You can find some really cool finds here at The Store. The prices are reasonable… cheaper than an antique store but more expensive than a thrift store. We didn’t find anything that interested us in our recent trip, but it’s fun to look around and the anticipation of what you just might discover is always a treat.
Note: the painting of the deer running on velvet that Carolynne M. mentioned in her review was still available!

I can and have wasted hours in here just looking around. This place is fascinating, the prices are dirt cheap, and the people that work here are so very friendly.

What is an all American boy doing in an Antique shop on a Saturday when he should be home watching College Football? I have no idea, but I have to admit I really enjoyed browsing around the store. It’s like a walk down Alzheimer’s lane. It brought back great memories of my childhood. There were household items that I haven’t seen in 20 years, toys that I had when I was a kid that were spread out all over the store.
Other than the sports memorabilia that I collect, I have no idea what this stuff is really worth, but it did seem a bit pricey to me.
If you go shopping in the Richmond area the Store is a must see. You never know what you will find.

I agree with the carolynne r, this place is a gem!
There is always something to be found and at the right price. I found shabby chic plates for $ 1 and American pottery for under $ 10.

OOh The Store is fab-​U-​lous. I seriously considered not writing a review simply because I wanted to keep this little gem all to myself, but hey, I am generous like that. You can thank me later.
An antique/​thrift/​oddity shop, prices are insanely cheap, wares run the gamut from awesomely retro, to basic necessitites, to tack-​a-​rrific junk. For example:
Great carved serving tray with handpainted tile insets I bought for a mere $ 3? Awesome!
Handsaw with the blade handpainted with a nauseatingly bright landscape scene, perfect for your hard-​to-​shop-​for lumberjack friend? Um, soooo tacky, yet oddly hilarious. That one is still there, you might want to run and get it.
A 1970’s plastic and metal rolly cart for $ 12? Damned awesome. Wish I had a place for it.
A painting of a running deer on black velvet? Tack — no wait, that was actually pretty bad-​ass. mmmm, velvety.
I hate how stuff is usually WAY too over priced anywhere in Chicago or the surrounding towns, so I definitely want to patronize this business as much as possible. Thanks for keeping me in chotchke heaven The Store! I love you for it!
