| SPOTLIGHT MERCHANT: VINTAGE CUPBOARD | ||
 |
 Robin Christian and Karen Franke are the owners of Vintage Cupboard, which opened in May 2006. After struggling to come up with the perfect name for their business, one evening Karen's husband looked at an old cupboard and simply asked, "How about Vintage Cupboard?" As Karen shared, the store is filled with old stuff encased by walls like a "cupboard." |
 Owners: Robin Christian & Karen Franke |

They chose the location of Vintage Cupboard, next to the Antique Mall (at 21120 134th Ave N in Rogers behind Denny's) because of its warehouse feel, low overhead, and high traffic. The duo is pleased with the reception from the community and excited to offer a unique variety of product that is appreciated and purchased by patrons nationwide. |
| Karen has been attracted to antiques all her life and Robin was looking for a career change. They have been friends for several years and the timing was right, so they decided to combine their talents and create a unique shopping experience. They are thrilled to remain in the community and excited to share new product for each season. Currently, visitors will find autumn and Christmas decorations along with gift-giving ideas. The Vintage Cupboard also carries a "staple" product line, which include special order and antique furniture, candles, floral pieces and more. Karen and Robin are also constantly looking for homemade, one-of-a-kind work that compliments their merchandise. |

On any given day groups of women, moms with children and even husband and wife teams shop at the Vintage Cupboard. Another feature that adds to the inviting atmosphere is the treats: popcorn, coffee, pop and cookies. |  |
