American Pickers host Mike Wolfe has shown off a new addition to his antique store, Columbia Motor Alley. Mike’s focus on his shop comes after his pal claimed he is ready to retire from American Pickers amid the show’s lowest ever ratings.

The 59-year-old shared several snaps of an old printer’s table that he planned to reuse as a workbench at Columbia Motor Alley, a converted former Chevrolet dealership in Columbia, Tennessee, about an hour south of Nashville. He posted a video of the rustic, heavy-duty table being lifted into the store. The presenter also added a sweet snap of his dog Francy lying on the floor with her head resting on her paws.

The History Channel star captioned the post: “This sucker is heavy! Two slabs of granite on top, old printer table now will be a workbench for @Columbia Motor.”

American Pickers star Mike’s pal says the show could be ending amid brutal ratings. American Pickers ratings dropped to the lowest of the season. He added cheekily, “Francy Wolfe directing the action.”

Mike’s post comes just hours after his friend exclusively told the US Sun that he is looking to leave the show. They said, “I don’t know how long the show will last. I don’t know how long Mike and Robbie want to do this. I think they would like to retire at some point. It’s been 12 years. It’s a strain on your life. They’ve done this a long time. When they’re around, it’s ‘ah, we’re on the road again. I ain’t got time to do this. I ain’t got time to do that.'”

Eminem’s ex, Kim Mathers, is moving for the second time in a year after rehab.

“It’s a love-hate, like with any job. Some days you don’t wish you had that job, and you could do whatever you wanted. Some days you’re all excited about your job.” Mike and Danielle Colby have starred in the hit series since 2010, and his brother Robbie officially became a full-time cast member to replace Frank Fritz in 2022.

American Pickers could be ending because the series is experiencing low ratings. The July 5 premiere started off strong with 980,000 viewers. For the July 12 show, 830,000 watched, while 730,000 tuned in for the July 19 episode. Ratings were better for the July 26 episode, with 885,000 viewers. The August 9 episode had 778,000 viewers, while the August 16 episode had 760,000 people watching. The August 23 episode brought in just 620,000 viewers, the lowest of the season.

Ratings were once in the millions when fan favorite Frank, 59, was a host alongside Mike. Frank left the show to recover from back surgery, leaving him with 18 stitches and two rods in his spine.
