As is found in the dictionary "A flea market is a type of bazaar that rents space to people who want to sell or barter merchandise. Used goods, and high quality items such as collectibles and antiques." We might be categorized as a type of flea market...but... we certainly are different than that. We are proud to be an EMPORIUM...

We have Purchased the Property and the Building, opening our doors on May 16th, 2015. We have been overwhelmed with the Welcoming and Positive feedback from our community and customers. We are so pleased as Owners who have accomplished so much, in so little time, as only two people can. Everything in and about the Emporium has been solely the two of us, and we are very happy to offer affordable prices ! On both our New and Repurposed finds. We have Explored Near and Far for our One of a Kind items.... and we are the sole suppliers.

We wear many hats at the Emporium. We are personal shoppers for clients who are in search of that special item to add to their collection. One of our motto's is, "If we don't have it, please sign our Guest Book and add your item to our Wish List, We will do our best to find what you are looking for." We thrive on being helpful.

We carry all types of music... even cassette tapes, as our boating friends, who have cassette players in their dash... love to find that special treasured music at our store to play on the water.... and yes, we have every genre. Even Smoke on the Water can be found, along side of Motor Head and Bach. Come in and see our Cool Selection.

We would like to take this opportunity to reveal the meaning of Emporium, as again, found in the dictionary.

em·po·ri·um emˈpôrēəm/noun

a large retail store selling a wide variety of goods.

synonyms: store, shop, outlet, retail outlet, superstore, mega store, department store,chain store, supermarket; establishment

"a furniture emporium" ...(we do not carry very much furniture)

•a business establishment that specializes in products or services on a large scale (often used for humorously formal effect).

"the world-famous food emporium" (we do not carry food items... only a small amount of containers of ice cream and freezies in the summer)

•archaic -a principal center of commerce; a market. (we do carry Sprouts)

We would also like to take this opportunity to reveal the dictionary description of the word Eco. eco- 1. a combining form representing ecology, in the formation of compounds (ecosystem; ecotype); also with the more general sense “environment,” “nature,” “natural habitat” (ecocide; ecolaw; ecopolitics).

We are an ECO-Friendly store.... Meaning yes, we have repurposed items so as to not fill our Land Fill Sites. We recycle, as we care about the environment. We have reusable plastic bags, if you so chose to utilize them. We collect rain water for watering our plants and vegetables. We re-purpose newspaper to wrap delicate items in. We want to leave as minimal a footprint onto the earth as possible, being one with nature on our 29 Acres. Sustainability is about ecology, economy and (sweat) equity. You may notice me, hand pulling the weeds and picking up the garbage on the front lawns that has blown out of vehicles passing through.

We are ECO-Nomically Friendly.... Our wares sell for below retail and or the going rates.

We the Emporium, being in the middle of busy cottage country, are so happy to meet so many Explorers. Sharing this quote -“Stand up; Grow up and Climb up. The reason why you can’t see farther and further is because you didn’t climb higher. Be willing to explore and be informed!”

― Israelmore Ayivor, Daily Drive 365
