SHOP LOCAL – YESTERDAY’S TREASURES AND MORE
YESTERDAY’S TREASURES AND MORE
1702B Government St. and
3307 Dauphin Island Pkwy., Mobile
Store hours: By appointment
Yesterday’s Treasures & More is a family-owned antique and vintage resale shop. In operation for five years, the store sells glassware, furniture items, accessories and vintage knickknacks.
The pandemic affected sales at this brick-and-mortar store, so owner DeWanda Davis is working to create an online presence. “Customers can reach us through our Facebook page, phone or email to make an appointment,” she said.
Davis recommends giving gifts that can be repurposed and shopping at more local small businesses. She adds, “People have become more nostalgic since the pandemic, and we have items that bring back family memories. Some customers have told me how items they find in the store remind them of loved ones.”
