There Are Over 10 Thrift Stores In This One Colorado Town And You’ll Want To Visit Them All
I have a secret to tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else, okay? Okay. I am a bit of a thrifting queen/legend and LOVE to search high and low for the best treasures at the best prices, so you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that the best finds do not come from the big city, but a little known-area in northeast Colorado. Where, you ask? Well…
Please note, The French Corner is temporarily closed.
Located near Greeley in northeast Colorado is the small town of Ault...
Eaton is a bit larger than Ault (with a population of nearly 5,000 compared Ault's fewer than 2,000 residents) and is also an important agriculture hub, which accounts for roughly 12% of the town's workforce.
Why would we recommend thrifting around these two small towns? For starters, they are both home to a number of thrift stores and antique shops, including the chic French Corner...
This ain't your average flea market-inspired antique shop! The French Corner is a Parisian heaven-on-earth that sells beautiful decor and hard-to-find pieces.
You'll have to plan ahead to visit this darling place, as it is open by appointment only and for special events, one of which is coming up in Fall 2018. For more information, visit their website here. The shop is located at 108 Oak Ave., Eaton, CO 80615.
Please note, Junk ‘n’ Joe Flea Market & Coffee Shop is no longer in business.
It's not just hidden gems here, folks, as this unique little flea market also serves up delicious coffee from an on-site cafe. Junk 'n' Joe is located at 226 East 1st St., Ault, CO 80610.
Please note, Blooms & Heirlooms is no longer in business.
Located in Ault, Blooms & Heirlooms has everything from rustic to refined, including home decor, one-of-a-kind gifts, vintage cookware, and - as the name suggests - colorful floral arrangements. You'll find the shop at 120 1st St., Ault, CO 80610.
While you’re visiting these small communities, be sure to carve out time to also check out the rest of the area, as small towns = home-cooked diners, friendly residents, and unique photo opportunities!
