Recent visitors to Fort Atkinson’s downtown may have noticed the ever-changing windows of a longtime retailer, Five Star Antiques & Vintage, which is now under new ownership, according to information submitted by the Fort Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce.
The sidewalk chalkboard reads “Three Floors of Cool Stuff,” which is what shoppers will find inside. Everything from toys, antiques, vintage and contemporary collectibles, furniture and home decor, books, clothing, sports collectibles, advertising, candy, affordable goods and unique finds are available from over 50 local vendors, the chamber release states.
Five Star Antiques & Vintage, 125 N. Main St., changed hands in April of 2020. New owners Ross Hipp and Kate Seil are originally from the Chicago area and envisioned expanding this hometown store into a wildly entertaining shopping experience for the entire community. Their shop has come to reflect that vision, as evidenced by social media reviews, with comments like: “This is a gem of a mall,” where “quirky thingamajigs” can be found on every floor.
Five Star Antiques & Vintage looks forward to partnering with the Chamber of Commerce to promote local business and enhance retail shopping in the area. Their daily presence on social media has attracted a multitude of people from throughout southeastern Wisconsin to come to Fort Atkinson and explore restaurants, recreation and the natural beauty of the county, the release noted.
