As for the antiques, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal they could still be available for purchase after the store closes.
A store source told The U.S. Sun, “Some antiques from the Nashville store are going to Iowa. Some he’s keeping. Some are going to his bike shop Columbia Motor Alley.
“He is going to make the decision. I don’t know if they’re going to do any public auctions.”
The insider continued, “He wants to focus on family. He’s stretching himself too thin. He’s 60, he wants to slow down and spend time with his daughter. He has a lot going on.”
Mike shares 13-year-old daughter Charlie with his ex-wife, Jodi.
END OF AN ERA
Mike announced the store closing on Friday over social media.
He began the heartfelt post, “After nearly 15 amazing years, we’ve made the tough decision to close the doors of our Antique Archaeology store here in Music City.
“This place has meant the world to me — not just the brick and mortar, but the people. The community. The visitors from all over the world who came through those doors, shared their stories, and reminded me every day why I started this journey in the first place.
“I’ve been so proud to be a part of this neighborhood, this city, and this chapter of life. But sometimes, even when something is good, you have to pause and ask yourself where your time is going — and where your heart is calling you next.
“For me, that’s family. It’s slowing down a little, staying rooted, and focusing on the new projects that are pulling at my soul. I’m not disappearing — not even close.”
Mike insisted he will “still be picking, sharing, and selling online” at the original LeClaire, Iowa store.
He ended, “But I’ve learned over the years that it’s easy to spread yourself too thin, and balance is something we all chase in one way or another.
“This isn’t goodbye — it’s just a new rhythm. I’ll forever be grateful for every moment in that Nashville space, and for all of you who made it more than just a shop. You made it home.”
The U.S. Sun has reported Antique Archaeology Nashville has faced backlash from customers in recent years.
Customers have flooded Google reviews with complaints about the amount of merchandise compared to antiques being sold at the store, and the overpriced items.
STUNNED WORKERS
The U.S. Sun previously reported workers at the Nashville store were notified of the closing just one day before the public found out.
A source told The U.S. Sun, “This is their last week with Antique Archaeology. They found out the day before everyone else.
“Mike tries to be hands on in every store he owns. He’s trying to consolidate a little bit so he could spend more time with his family,” the source said.
The insider revealed staffers appeared shocked and upset over the news.
Employees of the Le Claire, Iowa store were informed of the closure weeks prior, a second source revealed.
Mike will “see the store off” on Saturday, April 26 and greet customers before the official final day on Sunday.
