Red Bank
(423) 602-5497
What they sell: Anything and everything. The store keeps extending further back, and there’s a second location on Hixson Pike.
Coolest thing on offer: License-plate birdhouses and a surprisingly plentiful stock of fishing gear.
Why you want to shop here: If the maze of antiques and vintage items on display from 35 vendors isn’t enough to bring you in, you’ll also be greeted at the door by shop dog Bella, an Aussie shepherd and border collie mix.

Southside
(423) 503-1225
What they sell: Authentic French antiques with a dash of kitsch.
Coolest thing on offer: There’s a lot to choose from, but it’s between the bread safe (panetière, in the French spirit), the Paris 2024 Olympic mascot plush and the copper teapots.
Why you want to shop here: For an authentic French feel in downtown Chattanooga. As the shop’s name suggests, nearly everything in this antique shop comes from France, but they go beyond the French stereotypes and offer more than just Eiffel Tower replicas and berets.
