Back-N-The Day

My husband found this shop a few miles from our house when he made a wrong turn and, after seeing the old signs displayed outside, knew I would love it. Sure enough, the shop is straight out of American Pickers, full of rust and patina – everything lovingly used. I had been desperately searching for a dark wooden cabinet with glass doors for the six months I’ve lived in Fayetteville, browsing craigslist every day and flea marketing on the weekends. I found one within 10 seconds of walking in the door of Back-​N-​The Day. For $ 40! I was ecstatic. The owner, who was friendly from the moment we walked through the door, gave me a good deal on a porcelain pitcher that I bought along with it by taking $ 5 off both items, and he helped us carry the cabinet to our car, even measuring to make sure it would fit for us.
The shop houses stacks of furniture, old Pepsi and Coke machines and paraphernalia, gasoline collectibles, vintage art and frames, old tools and cookware, and bits of everything imaginable. It’s quite a maze, and really invites those in search of a discovery.
