Clinton Emporium
Located on the south end of the quaint Village of Clinton, the Clinton Emporium is a mecca for treasure hunters, vintage collectors, thrift seekers, java lovers and everyone in between. Renowned for both its well-stocked antique shop and social hub cafe, the Clinton Emporium is a prominent fixture in the central interior community for so many reasons. Featuring vintage tools, glassware, lanterns, wagon wheels, and horse-drawn farm equipment, the owners are happy to buy and sell a variety of related items from a diverse set of industries.
Be dazzled by the impressive display of historical items speckled throughout the shop, or take in a sumptuous sip of Van Houtte’s Canadian coffee while lounging in the fantastically kitsch 1950’s cafe dubbed “The Emporium’s Happy Days Coffee”. While you’re at it, give in to temptation with an assortment of baked goodies and select hot and cold beverages. Take your coffee while you browse, or hunker down for the long haul- the space is meant for gatherings with friends and moments of solitude with a good book.
The Clinton Emporium is so much more than antiques, its a place for visitors and locals alike to connect. Stop by the shop today and see what’s happening!
