American Pickers star Mike Wolfe makes shocking move after Nashville store closure
Mike Wolfe is back in business, restocking his Nashville antiques store with a fresh batch of high-end items after he was forced to close it.
Despite the recent drama surrounding American Pickers, including a dip in ratings and accusations of being “fake,” Mike has been busy preparing for a new season and renovating a winery. Now, it seems he’s ready to reopen his stores, filling them with pricey antiques for those willing to splash the cash.
This comes as the show announced plans to head to South Carolina next season. Mike remains committed to his businesses, with the Nashville location of Antique Archaeology now boasting a range of new items.
Among the priciest are an antique coin horse ride for $3,500 and a stock market machine cabinet for $3,000. Other items include a cast iron water fountain for $1,500, a harmonica display case for $1,200 and an industrial cabinet for $995.
Mike is also selling a Cleveland Euro Mod bike for $950, a large stork statue for $850 and a detective camera for $700. Among the more affordable items on offer are a red HUSS sign and a Jerry Lee Lewis jacket, both tagged at $595.
There’s also a Coca-Cola diner clock for $300, a dollhouse for $195 and a birdhouse for $175. The store’s projected annual sales in 2023 were approximately $903,000.
Despite its success, Mike surprised many by temporarily closing the store in 2024. Reports suggest that the closure was due to construction problems, but the property has since reopened to the public.
Antique Archaeology specializes in all things vintage with curated pieces such as furniture, decor, memorabilia and clothes. All of the items are handpicked by Mike.
The TV star is well known for hosting American Pickers with his late co-host, Frank Fritz. Danielle Colby, a longtime friend of Mike’s, manages the office of Antique Archaeology and appears on the show as well. The shows follows them as they go around the United States to “pick” antique and vintage items to resale.
