BUSY BUSINESS

The U.S. Sun previously reported how Mike’s Iowa antique store is constantly flooded with customers, as the antiques seem to be a big hit.

A customer told The U.S. Sun: “Mike always has customers coming in and out of his store.

“It’s a lot of fans who check out the picks seen on the show and buy merchandise.”

In photos obtained by The U.S. Sun, customers could be seen checking out antiques and waiting in line to purchase their items.

The American Pickers star’s store Antique Archaeology Nashville has better sales than the Iowa location.

The U.S. Sun previously reported Antique Archaeology Nashville’s estimated annual sales per Experian’s Business Valuation Report are $903,000.

A rep for Mike and Antique Archaeology did not immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.

READY TO RETIRE?
The U.S. Sun previously reported Mike and his brother, Robbie, may be ready to call it quits soon.

A pal of Mike’s 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.”

American Pickers possibly coming to an end comes amid the series experiencing low ratings.
