State Street Antiques/Jim’s Attic at 115 N. State St. in Jerseyville is marking its 10th anniversary.
Judy Greene owns the business solely. She has been in business with the Jim’s Attic portion of the business for 20 years.
The business sells antique and collectible items.
“I find my job quite interesting,” Greene said. “People don’t have a lot of fun money with gas prices up so high, so it takes a lot to do this. We like our location — right on the Main Street.”
Greene thrives on the selling part of the business.
“I love the contact with people,” she said. “I do the old-fashioned approach, waiting on people. I walk up and greet them and do the one-on-one contact.”
The business is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Today, State Street Antiques/Jim’s Attic will have an open house with gifts and refreshments to mark the 10th anniversary.
An open house Saturday and Sunday will have gifts and refreshments to celebrate 10 years of the State Street name.
State Street has 12 vendors; some with multiple booths.
For information, call (618) 498-1440.
