A beloved Northern Kentucky establishment will close its doors after more than two decades in business this summer.
Florence Antique Mall, which opened in the summer of 1998, announced on Facebook that they will permanently close on July 31, after owners of the property have decided to sell the building and land to redevelopers.
“We are deeply sorry for this development, particularly given the wide popularity of FAM and the loyal customer base we’ve developed from near and far,” co-owner Coleen Detzel says in a release. “Needless to say, this affects every FAM employee and dealer as well.”
The antique mall has landed itself on several of CityBeat‘s Best Of Cincinnati lists over the years, including “Best Antique Store” and “Best Place to Buy Art.”
“Coleen and I had always hoped to one day sell the Florence Antique Mall to a new owner to see it continue, but it just wasn’t meant to be,” says co-owner Mike Detzel in the same release.
The mall will be open during their regular hours (11 a.m.-8 p.m. daily) until their closing date of July 31. The release notes that many vendors will be offering sales during this last month of operation.
If you currently have a gift certificate for the antique mall, it will be honored, however they are no longer selling gift certificates moving forward and the layaway program has been discontinued.
Florence Antique Mall, 8145 Connector Drive, Florence.
