The Chicken Coop, located in the old Farmers’ Co-op Building at 500 E.
Main Street - just east of the railroad tracks - is owned and operated
by Melissa Graef. She saved and completely renovated and restored the
Farmers’ Co-op Building, constructed in 1952 by Earl Alcorn, and opened
it up for business at the end of 2007. Now Melissa owns the largest flea-market space in Gentry and has numerous aisles of booths containing everything from old furniture, antiques, arts, crafts, collectibles to glass chandeliers. She has 46 venders and a store packed with merchandise. And “business is good,” she says. The slow down in the economy hasn’t kept customers away from her business. They come from all over the region. Melissa, an art major and graduate of the University of North Texas, restores antiques, and sells old chandeliers and country primitives. She likes handmade folk art and her store is full of examples. Vintage lighting is her specialty and one of her biggest items, she said. Quality artwork and crafts can be found throughout her store. And, of course, she has plenty of old glass chandeliers. The Chicken Coop invites you to come and browse its many aisles and booths and see for yourself the rich collection of merchandise we offer! |
