JACKSON CENTER — Hansel and Aaron Lowe love antiques. One of their favorite things to do is go antique shopping together.
They have both been collecting various things for over 10 years. Recently, they’ve noticed things in the industry were getting more and more expensive. So, Aaron Lowe decided to create Past And Present Collectibles on Jackson Street in the village of Jackson Center with Hansel.
They thrive to sell childhood memories at reasonable prices. After being open for over a year now, they have expanded to include an extensive selection of antiques for everyone to enjoy, from Hot Wheels to jewelry. The business is more of a hobby for them than a retirement plan as they thrive on customer quality than nickel-and-diming people. They recently donated 50 Hot Wheels and 15 Barbie/action figures to a Christmas Toy Drive for the community.
They are opened Monday through Friday starting at 4 p.m. to late in the evening. Saturday they are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday they are open for a few hours starting at 9 a.m.
If looking for something particular, you can reach out to them at 937-638-9976 with your request. They haven’t met a request yet they could not fulfill. They do take appointments as well for people who are interested in browsing the store outside of regular business hours at the same number.
