When and how did your business get started?


I walked into Milltown seven years ago to rent a booth at the antique, gifts and resale shop. Funny, I ended up buying it. Not cheap but it is about 17,000 square feet.

What is your business best known for?

Antiques, collectables, consignments. You name it, I have sold it.
