The Local of Louis Creek
Artisan Market
Antiques, Collectibles & More
You will find something for everyone here at the Local! My vision was to open a welcoming and friendly space where there was "something for everyone," where the whole family could feel at ease. My mandate is to source inventory from local talent and we are proud to boast an eclectic assortment of inventory including such treasures as antiques, pottery, honey, art, stones and gems, vintage items, spices, jams and jellies as well as Belgian chocolate to name just a sample of what we have in store.
Latest Additions
We are continually sourcing antiques, so our antique inventory is regularly updated. At The Local, we ensure our top-selling artisan items are kept stocked and, as we grow, we continue to welcome new artists, talent, and products to our shop.
Our Story
The Local of Louis Creek Artisan Market is a second-generation business, born of The Country Store Antiques. My dad ran a successful antique shop for 15 years in the very location I now proudly house my business.
I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, and I believe putting this business together was in my stars all along. After my dad retired, the building sat empty for two years until last spring, when I decided to switch paths from a successful teaching career to allow for more creativity and self-direction. In April, I set my ideas in motion to launch on July 1, 2021.
I absolutely love what I am doing! Every second of this journey has been exciting, fulfilling, and rewarding. I often describe it to friends as 'Christmas every day.' I am creating a space where people feel welcome to browse—the antiques and vintage items often lead people down memory lane—or find that perfect 'just have to have' gift. I love connecting with artists and filling this space with unique, whimsical, and beautiful items.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Pinegrove Campground
Such a beautiful authentic and well organized antique store. I could seriously spend an entire day browsing. Have found quite a few great finds both personal and business. I always encourage my campers to go and check them out. The ice cream they now sell in the summer is an added bonus! Such a valuable business in our community!

Awesome antique store. We picked up an old forge blower to use for our fire pit. City hipsters would have a field day with some of the old parts here.
