"After nearly 15 amazing years, we’ve made the tough decision to close the doors of our Antique Archaeology store here in Music City," he revealed.
The history buff explained, "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."
Wolfe also shared his plans for focusing on family, "slowing down a little, staying rooted, and focusing on the new projects that are pulling at my soul."

Still, Wolfe stressed that he is "not disappearing — not even close."
"I’ll still be picking, sharing, and selling online and at our original LeClaire, Iowa store," he clarified. "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."
In addition to working on another season of American Pickers, Wolfe recently announced a brand new History Channel show and his first film appearance.
Meanwhile, his co-star, Danielle Colby, 49, has unveiled exciting career plans of her own.
