🚨 TODAY IS THE DAY! 🚨

We’re opening the doors one more time at 1208 Grand Avenue for our HUGE store-owned merchandise sale!

Our vendors have finished moving out, and now we’ve been digging through the back rooms, storage areas, closets and every last corner of The Picker Knows — and we have LOTS of stuff that needs to go!

🛍️ ALMOST EVERYTHING IS 75% OFF! 🛍️

This sale is all about clearing out the items that The Picker Knows owns and that simply won’t be making the move with us to Winterset. This is just a fraction of what you will see!

There are treasures, displays, décor, vintage finds and plenty of things you may have never even seen out on the sales floor before. We want it GONE, so come ready to dig! New items will be pulled from the back all weekend long!

But we’re not done yet! We have a new chapter waiting for us in Winterset, and before we get there, we need your help clearing out what’s left!

❤️ SO MANY MEMORIES… AND ONE MORE BIG WEEKEND AT 1208 GRAND ❤️
Looking through these old flyers has us feeling a little nostalgic. Over the years, The Picker Knows has been home to so much more than antiques and collectibles.
We’ve had vintage market, late card expos, scavenger hunts, holiday open houses, Late Nite By Lamplite, winter events, spring shows…and so many other fun days in between. We’ve watched people walk through our doors looking for that one special treasure—and leave with something they never knew they needed. ❤️
As our vendors finish moving out and the building gets quieter, we’ve been finding reminders everywhere of just how many memories were made at 1208 Grand Avenue.
But we aren’t quite finished yet!
🎉 THIS SATURDAY & SUNDAY — AUGUST 8 & 9 — WE’RE OPEN FOR ONE FINAL BIG SALE!
We’ve been cleaning out the storage areas, back rooms, closets and every forgotten corner of the store. This sale will feature store-owned merchandise, and almost everything will be 75% OFF! There are lots of things that simply cannot make the move with us, so EVERYTHING NEEDS TO GO!
Saturday, August 8: 10 AM–7 PM
Sunday, August 9: 10 AM–5 PM
📍 1208 Grand Avenue, West Des Moines
And while we’re looking back, we want to hear YOUR Picker Knows memories!
What was your best find at The Picker Knows? Did you attend one of our special events? Do you have a favorite story, photo, vendor, treasure—or maybe something you bought years ago that you still love today?
👇 Share your favorite Picker Knows memory or best find in the comments! Photos are even better!
We would absolutely LOVE to see them. ❤️
This weekend may be one of our last chapters at 1208 Grand…but thankfully, this isn’t the end of The Picker Knows. Our next chapter is waiting for us in Winterset.
Until then, come see us this weekend, dig for one more treasure, share a memory with us, and help us clear out the building that has held so many of them. ❤️

As we walk through the store this week, it’s hard not to feel emotional. 💙
Our amazing vendors are finishing the move out of The Picker Knows at 1208 Grand Avenue. Many of them have called this place home for years, and watching their booths become empty is a reminder that this chapter is truly coming to an end. We’re incredibly grateful for every vendor and every customer who made this store such a special place.
But while one chapter is closing, we have one more exciting event to share with all of you!
