This Weekend - June 14-17

Lots of new (old) things come in all the time so come on in and check them out.  The sidewalk is finished in front of the store and (for now) there is also street parking in front.  So don't let the construction discourage you from coming.  All regularly priced items will be 15% off.  Some dealers are offering even higher discounts.

We have a sidewalk again!! And parking in front!!

Good news!  You no longer have to ignore the "sidewalk closed" signs and walk on the sheets of plywood to get to our front door.  Or find your way to our back door and ring the doorbell to get in (reminiscent of getting into a speakeasy, way back when).  The new sidewalk is completed in front of us AND you can park on the street in front of us.  So for now we are back to normal.  We appreciate all of our fabulous customers who braved the construction.

Celebrating 20 Years!

It's hard for me to believe, but Antiques on Main started in business 20 years ago this month!  Molly Caine and her two daughters-in-law started the business in May of 1992 and it has been going strong ever since.

Please help us celebrate by joining us on Saturday June 2 and Sunday 3 for refreshments, special discounts, and gift certificate drawings. 

Yes ... construction will still be an issue, but you can park on the side streets and they have been good about making sure you can get to all the stores on our block.

It's Started

It's finally upon us ..... construction has started along the 200 East block of Main Street.  That means that there will be no parking in front of Antiques on Main for a while and there are orange drums and noise and construction equipment everywhere.  

The good news is that we are still open.  The sidewalk is still open and you can easily get to our front door.  You obviously can't park in front of the store but you can park on the side streets and there are two nearby parking ramps.  One is on 2nd Ave. about a half block south of Main Street.  The other is also on 2nd Ave about 1 1/2 blocks north of Main St.  There is also an entrance to this one from Jackson Street, next to Serum's

East Main Street Reconstruction Update

I guess the city is calling it "Main Street Makeover" but it still looks like construction to me.  On the bright side, Antiques on Main is not yet directly affected by it.  The work is still limited to the 100 East block and nothing is happening in front of us.  I've been watching the progress and they have been pretty good about providing access to the stores where the construction is going on so don't let the ongoing work discourage you from visiting us.  If you are uncertain about coming in to shop, call us at 763-323-3990.

May Storewide Sales

 

 We have 2 store-wide sales coming up in May!!!  All regularly priced items will be 15% off.  Some dealers will offer even higher discounts.  The first sale is during Diva Days, Friday and Saturday, May 4th and 5th.  The second sale is the following extended weekend, Thursday to Sunday, May 10th through the 13th.  Since May 13th is Mother's Day, bring her in to take advantage of the great buys.

If the price of an item is marked "firm" or already on sale, then the store-wide 15% discount doesn't apply.  Sorry about that.

East Main Street Construction

The first thing I want to say is that Antiques on Main will be open throughout the reconstruction of Main Street, and we will be keeping to our regular hours: open at 9AM every day and closing at 6PM except for Wednesday and Thursday when we close at 8PM.  Or at least that's our plan.

Construction started on Monday (2 days ago) and so far they are working only along the 100 block.  In that section, eastbound traffic is limited to one lane while both lanes are still open in the other direction.  The stores on the 100 block appear to be accessible.

As of yet, there is no construction in the 200 block, so there is still parking in front of the store.  The side streets are not affected by the construction so on-street parking will still be available there as well as in the two public parking ramps.  The ramp on Second Avenue a half block south of Main Street is the closest one to us (about 1 block) and doesn't require that you cross Main Street.

As things progress, we'll keep you posted.
