“Our Story”

“I’ve been buying and selling since I was fourteen years old,” says Zack Walker, owner of Southern Draw Antique Mall. “I grew up going to antique car shows and swap meets with my family.”

Walker grew up in a house full of antiques and has loved them ever since he can remember. Thirteen years ago, he started his first booth. His initial plan was to be downtown on the Covington Square, but when those plans fell through this opportunity popped up.

“I love old stuff,” Walker continued, “I love being around it, the stories, and the history of commonplace items that bring back memories for people of all ages, whether it was them using something or someone remembering that their grandparents ‘had one of those’ and bringing back those smiles of remembering a time gone by. I love the people, too, the people really draw me to this type of business, the vendors are amazing, because those people are the ones curating the stories through their merchandise.”
