Polly Ann's Vintage Market A Mount Vernon Antique Shop Grows
Polly Ann Blythe and her husband Bob opened Polly Ann's Vintage Market in Mount Vernon in 1991 after planning apartments but switching to retail space. The 3,500 square foot shop hosts 13 vendors, including Blythe's father, while the couple run a bed and breakfast and craft custom furniture. They credit sweat equity and hard work for expanding from two rooms to a bustling multi-dealer space and note a shift toward repurposed items and younger decor buyers.
