Why the name Hodge Podge for an antique shop?  

 

We wanted the name of our antique store to be representative of a fun and friendly place to shop, yet, wanted a name that would be easily remembered and recognizable. Although the name is a bit unorthodox for an antique store, our motto at Hodge Podge is that we have a “little bit of everything,” and we wanted to offer a “little bit of something” that would appeal to anybody and everybody. 

The name kind of gave us a direction, as well, because not only do we offer French china, fine linen tablecloths, and lace curtains, but we also have rusty gates, primitive jelly cabinets, Goodyear signs, and civil war relics. The name “Hodge Podge” just seemed to fit.
