Best Antique Store

“The variety is a great thing,” says one employee, “we get a lot of things we’ve never seen before.” Urban Cottage gets most of its stock through consignments, so shoppers get the benefits of very diverse sources. John Beatty has owned Urban for three years; it was the original owner who wrote the computer program that reduces the prices on their merchandise week by week. “It’s unique in this area,” says Beatty. “I think they saw something similar in British Columbia.” 1819 Granville, 423-3010
