About The Marketplace

The Marketplace opened in 2006, and is owned and operated by Christy Wood. After a long career in the sales and marketing arena, Christy and her family moved to North Carolina from California. She was looking to create a business where she would have flexibility while her children were young and still in school. She left the corporate work with $300 in the bank and opened a plus-size consignment store above a tanning salon, while doing eBay sales on the side.

That business took off and Christy eventually met a local auctioneer who introduced her to the antiquing community. She moved the business into a larger building and started renting booths. Over the years, we have expanded from 25 vendors to over 100, and now offer a variety of services in addition to antique and collectible sales.
