Rivertowne Celebrates 13 Years In Columbia, Pa.
Since opening in 2004, Rivertowne has gained the reputation for offering top-quality antiques set in the restored Bachman-Forry tobacco warehouse. It is home to 20 dealers displaying a vast selection of authentic 18th-, 19th-, and early-20th-century items including folk art, country furniture, Americana, primitives, glassware, stoneware, trade signs, general store items, and decorative smalls. One of the reasons weve had success with our shop is that we havent outgrown ourselves. Many places get larger and can become impersonal, said co-owner Georgia Townsend. At Rivertowne, we greet every customer with a smile and a welcome. It always gets a pleasant response; people love shopping here.
Relax in a comfortable, clean and well-lit atmosphere, and enjoy exploring the two floors stocked with treasures galore. Theres no better time to visit than during the three-day anniversary sale.
Were celebrating our 13th year in business thanks to our great group of dealers, their commitment to offer genuine antiques fairly priced and the support of a customer base that appreciates our merchandise, continued Madar. What weve seen lately is the younger generation coming in recognizing the utilitarian value of antiques for use in furnishing and decorating their home. That is very encouraging.
Light refreshments will be served at the centers café, which features the transplanted original 1930s counter and stools from the Sun restaurant in downtown Lancaster, Pa.
