Ernie and Lorna are retiring from the antique business at the end of this month. You may or may not know them by name, but you probably know their merchandise. Lorna had all the wonderful jewelry near the checkout counter. Ernie had coins, military stuff and other similar things. In preparation of this, Lorna is selling her jewelry at 50% off. There is still time to come in and take advantage of this.
They have been in Antiques on Main for 20 years ago, making them among the first dealers in the store. They were involved in several enterprises prior to this, which included operating an ice skate shop and a metal detector shop. They were avid treasure hunters using their metal detectors. And before that, Ernie was a captain with the Minneapolis fire department.
I should note that they will not be retiring 100 per cent. They will keep a case in the store where Ernie will continue to sell coins and Lorna will continue to sell jewelry (still at discount prices).
