NEW PALS American Pickers star Mike Wolfe welcomes new addition to Tennessee store as pal says he’s ‘ready to retire’ from show

MIKE Wolfe has shown off his latest pickings in a new pic from his store.

The American Pickers star shared a snap of his find on his Instagram Stories on Tuesday.

American Pickers star Mike Wolfe revealed his latest addition to his Tennessee store in a new post

Mike proudly showed off huge cardboard cutouts of The Three Stooges, and welcomed them to Columbia Motor Alley

In the image, Mike, 59, showed his newest antique at his store Columbia Motor Alley.

The specialized store is a converted former Chevrolet dealership in Columbia, Tennessee, about an hour south of Nashville.

The television star captured the interior of the shop, which was filled from floor to ceiling with various antiques, most of them car-based.

On the floor, three huge cardboard cutouts of The Three Stooges.

The trio was a popular comedy act, and were active in film and TV for decades after their theater debut in 1922.

Alongside the social media snap of the three core members, Mike wrote: “Welcome Home Boys,” and tagged his store.

Alongside Columbia Motor Alley, Mike owns Antique Archaeology, with stores located in Le Claire, Iowa, and Nashville, Tennessee.

Mike has been slammed by customers for the high prices of some of his items and selling merchandise instead of actual antiques.

Regarding the Iowa store, one disgruntled customer on Google Reviews blasted: “Seriously there was only a handful of stuff that had been potentially picked. The rest of it was cheap Chinese-branded merchandise used to promote the store.

“I get it’s a tourist trap, but come on, at least do better than that. I would have happily dropped hundreds of dollars in there if it was something really cool. Instead, it was like three things that had been picked ranging from $200 to $4,000.”

SHOW’S OVER?
The most recent season of American Pickers has been facing a struggle with ratings.

On top of this news, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Mike and his brother Robbie may be ready to call it quits soon.

A pal of Mike’s exclusively told The U.S. Sun: “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.’

“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.”

LET’S BE FRANK
In August, a friend of Frank Fritz, 57, spoke to The U.S. Sun about the star’s condition after he suffered a stroke in July 2022.

Days after the exclusive interview, fans voiced their wishes that he’d return to the show after a throwback clip of him and Mike was posted on Facebook.

One person wrote: “I miss the two of them together.”

A second fan agreed: “Loved this show when it had Frank on it.”
