3 times 80 years = 98 years
Three of our older dealers in their 80's called it a day this year @topbananaantiques for various health reasons, and now all replaced with 2 dealers in their twenties and one in his forties.
11 of our 55 dealers are now under 30. Not sure how many centres could say the same.
We are looking for the next twenty years and by then I would of done over 40 years at the helm, I am sure another will take up the mantle.
I notice there is a continuing up swell of younger buyers, we had students in from Bath on Saturday buying, tins and decoration for their digs. Lots of twenty somethings and we are offering less and less old lady type antiques and more and more quirky decorative mixed in with some very decent brown furniture too. Shop feels busy, talking busy and thinking busy.
Don't forget www.topbananaantiques online too, free post on most items.
