Founded in 1980, in Joplin, Missouri, Vintage
Stock was originally called The Book Barn and sold used books. As
time
progressed, more energetic and insightful owners took over
and saw a
future in diversifying the product line to include other used or pre-owned
products, including music, movies, video games, sports collectibles,
trading
cards, games, comics, and toys.
Since then, Vintage Stock has doubled the
number of stores to 10 in the past two
years after being totally acquired by a group led by Rodney Spriggs,
Ken
Caviness, and Steve Wilcox.
“The idea that retailers
need to carry a wide mix of
merchandise is something we pioneered a long time ago,” says
Rodney Spriggs, Vintage Stock’s president and CEO.“If
consumers wanted music, movies and video games they have to go to
three different stores. We carry
everything, all under one roof. That is the concept
behind Vintage Stock. Everything you want in one store.”
Vintage Stock
has grown and changed with the times, while keeping a steady pulse
on the past. Each Vintage Stock store can carry upward of 40,000 to
60,000
unique items, everything from Beatles memorabilia and Spider-Man comic
books to
Mickey Mantle autographs and Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards to the newest
DVD and music releases.
