The Estate Sale Shop in Hilltop Campus Village
Always great things at great prices!
The Estate Sale shop on the corner of 14th and Brady is now 6 ½ years old and one of the wonderful shops you can find in the Hilltop Campus Village. Offering items for sale that range from your pantry to your garage, an array of variety always priced to sell! Owners Kelly and Nigel Wallace have spent the time in the store to really understand the “rhythm of Brady Street” even with the construction.
“We normally close the 4th of July weekend as well as the Bix weekend, so this year we just took the remaining two weeks of July to stay closed and give the store a little attention,” explained Kelly. New front steps were put on, as well as all new awnings. All the bookcases and display shelves were packed up, cleared and rearranged. Then the task of relining the space with product began, and with 3000 sq. ft. to fill, that was a job in itself!
“But it was needed, and the benefit has been exactly what we hoped for,” says Kelly. “Our customers let us know WE WERE MISSED! That first weekend in August when we re-opened, folks poured in wearing big smiles, excited to see what we did and what treasures they can find, expounding ‘We missed you!’ which made our day!”
Kelly is also excited to share more upcoming developments, explaining, “We will be opening three new rooms in the store sometime before the holidays, almost doubling our stores’s size!”
The shop is unique in the Quad Cities, only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It’s a perfect fit for the growing area of the Hilltop Campus Village. “There are many “one of a kind” shops up here on the Hilltop,” Kelly said. “That’s one of the reasons we are going on 7 years strong, location loctation location.”
Even with the construction, the shop is still pretty easy to get to, off Main Street and 13th Street alley way. Once you weave through past Red Band and into the lot, you’ll discover inside that it was worth the trip. “Using the month to really sort through some of our past stock has revealed inventory perfect for the current style of upcycling and resourcing, as well as adding a piece of unique history that may come with the item you’ve purchased,” explains Kelly.
The Wallaces take pride in offering quality products to their customers, which is one of the main reason people return week after week, bring in family and friends, sharing the discoveries that can only happen when you step inside The Estate Sale Shop. Stop in to see for yourself.
The Estate Sale shop is one of Davenport’s jewels, in one of the Quad Cities most vibrant neighborhoods. Stop and shop in the historic Hilltop – The Hilltop Campus Village, Davenport Iowa!
