Despite Mike Wolfe’s recent closure of his antique stores, fans can rest assured that this does not signal the end for American Pickers.

The popular History Channel series is gearing up to film its next season early in the coming year.

Cineflix, the media company co-producing the 26-season show, issued a press release last week announcing a search for new “pickers” to film in North Carolina.

American Pickers is a documentary series featuring Mike and a co-host as they traverse the United States, visiting various antique collections and purchasing, or “picking,” different antiques.

These items are either kept for their personal collection or resold for profit. According to the release, those interested in appearing on the show or who know someone suitable should send a name, phone number, location, and collection photos to americanpickers@cineflix.com or call 646-493-2184.

Antique Archeology’s Instagram update alerted followers: “Our Nashville store is currently closed due to some construction issues! We will keep you updated on when we open back up.

“We are so sorry for the inconvenience and look forward to seeing y’all soon!”

The closure was brief, however, as the Nashville location welcomed customers again just one day later.

“Meanwhile, Mike Wolfe made an appearance at the Iowa store to highlight Black Friday specials, flaunting a classic Santa suit and a variety of branded items including hats, mugs, coasters, and shirts.

The popularity of American Pickers has significantly raised the profile of both the store and Mike himself.

Reflecting on the impact, he shared: “We have a TV show. Before the show it was just Danielle [Colby] and I working in here. When the show hit, everyone came in and asked for t-shirts and hats. There is a mix of merch and vintage.”
