5/9/03: Avalon Antiques Market in Wiscasset will celebrate its first anniversary with a storewide sale of 10 to 40 percent off from June 14 to June 22.

Avalon opened last June 14th under the ownership of Bill Belmore, Waldoboro. More than 100 dealers filled 10,000 square feet of floor space along with 12 glass cases on opening day. Avalon now has 24 glass cases and has added another 1,000 feet of floor space to meet the demand of both dealers and buyers.

“Customers at Avalon have a continuing variety of fresh to the market antiques” Belmore. “While the majority of our dealers are from throughout Maine, including Wiscasset, we also have dealers in our shop from Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Vermont., Belmore said. “I don’t think there’s a day that goes by when new merchandise isn’t brought in.

The names of the 100 plus dealers at Avalon are listed on its website, which has recently been redesigned and revised. Accessed at www.avalonantiquesmarket.com, the new Web site offers a photo tour of Avalon and numerous featured items with photographs, descriptions and prices. The web site renovation also coincides with the first anniversary.

“We want to use the anniversary to thank our many repeat customers and the thousands of tourists who visit and shop in this area of Maine,” said Belmore. “They got us off to a fantastic start and our dealers continue to build on that success with the high quality of the antiques they offer.”

In addition to the week-long sale offering 10 percent to 40 percent off everything in the store, Avalon has also organized an outdoor show and sale of quality antiques on the grounds at Avalon on Saturday, June 14. More than 20 dealers are expected to display and sell at the outside show. Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Avalon Antiques operates year-round, seven days a week. On June 1st, the store hours will be extended to 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Labor Day, when hours will again be 9 to 5.

Avalon is located on Rte. 1 south in Wiscasset in the former Maine Country Store.
