Good morning, Chattanooga!

At the age of 35, “old soul” Ryan Bush loves old stuff. So it’s more than fitting that she runs an antique shop in Red Bank.

“As a kid, I was always fascinated with things. I just like stuff in general,” Bush says.

Her parents flipped homes when she was young and her dad would carry her along when purchasing collectibles.

So after college and a stint working for an antique shop, she decided to try out the business for herself, opening a storefront in 2017.

Here, read about how her business model brings together about 100 vendors and how the pandemic hasn’t slowed things down.
