"We sell a mixture of antique, vintage, wholesale buys, new buys, things that people make, clothes, just an assortment of different items to kind of grab everybody's attention, rather than just your typical antique store," Leland said.
The antique store will sell an array of vintage items, such as home decor, vinyl records and homemade candles. Leland aims to feature antiques from the '60s, '70s and '80s.
"It's a good place to go and just kind of relax and spend a couple hours. That's what's nice about the Duluth (location) because it's a big one, and I wanted that same experience at the Cloquet," Leland said. "That's why I tried to put a lot of stuff in there, but not so much that you can't move."
Additionally, Leland is trying to orient her inventory to be more inviting for men. She created an entire "man cave" section of the store featuring old beer signs, knives, shoulder mounts and taxidermied animals.
Leland said she wanted to open a second location in Cloquet because it feels like a small, tight-knit community with only select antique options.
