Temporarily Closed Due to Hurricane Helene
Many local businesses, including Asheville antique stores, were affected by the devastation of Hurricane Helene in the fall of 2024. To read more about how you can support the community in the wake of this natural disaster, check out our post on how to ethically travel to Asheville in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
Regeneration Station
Asheville
Keep an eye out for the return of this Asheville staple. Once a thriving vintage/antique shop in Asheville with tons of unique vendors, Regeneration Station suffered major damage from Hurricane Helene in the fall of 2024 and is on the long road to recovery. They had an incredible selection of vintage clothing, furniture, and other accessories, and the community eagerly awaits their return.
Antique Tobacco Barn

Antique Tobacco Barn is another beloved Asheville antique store that was forced to close after Hurricane Helene. Before the hurricane, it was quite the sight, with over 75,000 square feet of antiques, collectibles, and home décor. They plan to rebuild with special flood-proofing measures to prevent another total loss in the future. They’re closer to their grand re-opening every day, so keep an eye on their Facebook page for updates!
