The Watson's

Steven and Nikki are young entrepreneurs that have been life time junkers. Whether it be an antique store, big box thrift store, mom and pop shop in the foot hills, or best yet....a good ol’ fashion YARD SALE....they’re game! They have 4 kids ages 13, 9, 8, & 4 and are big into family time! You may see the kids from time to time at the shop as well.  The Watson’s, without two nickels to rub together, started their business from home, right out of the garage. They became a very well known weekly yard sale spot in the Greenbrier area. When a weekend passed that the they were not having a yard sale they had many knocks on the front door asking when they planned to have their next sale. With over 100 people passing through their sale on any given weekend they joked about leasing a location they had passed a few weeks in a row as they did some of their own shopping. Steven was 5 weeks out of a major back surgery and Nikki was 5 months pregnant.  After a few prayers, long conversations, and a couple phone calls Steven and Nikki’s vision for The Yard Sale Store and More was conceived and built from the ground up. Steven and Nikki opened the shop 5 years ago in hopes to build a clean and better organized specialty thrift store right here in Chesapeake, VA. Only a few short months after the doors opened the curb appeal as well as the merchandise began to transform in the direction to what most weekly customers love it as today; a local family owned small business that updates, transforms, and grows every week! One customer stated it best, “You guys are like a small antique mall and Cracker Barrel on steroids!” (minus the food).  Their goal is to grow deep healthy roots right here in Great Bridge where the couple are both semi long time locals.

A Word From the Owners:

"We want to thank everyone that has been a part of this journey that has turned into a passion and career for us both. We work hard to find and sell quality pieces at very competitive prices. Outside of the gently used furniture, we also carry a little bit of anything else that you could possibly think of at any given time. There is no rhyme or reason, and we never know what may walk through the door next! We love the idea of putting money back into the community’s pocket as we buy items from individuals in the area daily. Thank you for taking time to check out our business, and we hope you take the same time to swing in and check out the store! We look forward to meeting you and your family and helping you find that perfect item for yourself or that gift idea you may have for a friend or family member. We truly have a little something everyone! Be Blessed!"
