Come shop Hutchinson's newest antique store!

Hutchinson's Sherman Street Emporium, the latest addition to the city's Antique District, is ready for customers to make the short drive from Wichita.

Partners Slade Dover and Adam Alexander opened the new antique store and boutique in October of 2022, and are thrilled with the immediate response from customers. They're also excited to be a part of the Hutchinson Antique District, which is known for its wide selection of antique and vintage shops.

Sherman Street Emporium is located at 114 W. Sherman Street, Suite 106. Dover and Alexander own the building, which previously was the old Salvation Army location.

“We've really been able to make use of the building,” said Dover. He noted that three other businesses that he and Alexander operate also are located in that building: Dynamic Renovations, Dynamic Distributing and Dynamic Electronics. The two owners have been partners for the past seven years.

“We saw this as a niche for us,” said Alexander. Dover has been a Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycle collector for many years, and the partners have one of the booths within Sherman Street Emporium, which is set up as an antique mall.

“We have 17 vendors already, and we're completely full,” said Dover. Alexander agreed, but laughed and said that they might be able to “squeeze in one more vendor if we had to.”

So far, the partners say response to the new antique mall has been fantastic. An article in the Hutchinson News and word of mouth has kept a steady stream of customers coming to the store.

Now the owners are hoping more people from Wichita will make the “antiquing” trek from Wichita.

“We're pulling in people from many other towns, and Wichita is just a short drive up K-96,” said Alexander. “We and the other stores in the Antique District are all working together, and it's such a unique experience.”

Sherman Street Emporium has 3,000 square feet of space, and is packed to the rafters, according to the partners. It's an experience just waiting to happen!

Hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and closed on Sunday. The shop is always open for other special downtown events.
