Grandma’s Pretties Antiques & Collectibles – Shop Here for Mother’s Day!
Posted by Dustin Horton // April 26, 2016 // Local Business
Beautifully decorated for spring – Whitney Point is home to Grandma’s Pretties, an antique shop with a 25-year history and is owned by Marlene Pittsley. Grandma’s Pretties occupies its eighth location in over two decades. Each time she moved, Marlene’s business grew larger. Marlene is ready for spring and Mother’s Day with her antique tables set with festive antique plates and dinnerware!
The business opened on September 1st, 2013 at 3 Railroad Street in Whitney Point. Though the space is not as large as its former 11,000 square foot space in its former Endicott location, the 2,000 square foot space is quite large enough to house 500+ dolls, over 1,000’s of earrings, furniture, glassware, paintings, jewelry, and a vast array of other items that are on display. No vendors or cosigners, the store is a one owner owned shop! Be sure to check out the newly added back room filled with $1 to $5 items on the sale racks!
The bulk of Marlene’s business takes place with families, from generation to generation. Instead of buying from auctions or searching garage sales for wares with which to add to her inventory, Marlene acquires her items from private homes. You won’t believe the inventory until you see it!
Grandma’s Pretties is open from 10am to 5pm Wednesday through Sunday and is closed Monday & Tuesday. You can reach Grandma’s Pretties by calling (607) 862-9795, or stop in at the handicapped accessible store at 3 Railroad Street in Whitney Point: take a right on to Main Street by the Speedway station, and take a left onto Railroad Street before you reach the railroad tracks. Cash, checks, and credit cards are all welcome. Grandma’s Pretties buys merchandise, such as jewelry, clocks, glassware, furniture, and miscellaneous items. Make Grandma’s Pretties one of your stops when you are shopping for the perfect gift for Mother’s Day. View their website www.grandmaspretties.com
