108 Thigpen St

Once known as the historic Hoppe Store, now operating as Rita’s Antiques since 2005, this enduring and cherished venue is ready for a new owner to write its next chapter! Perfectly positioned on Hwy 290 in the heart of downtown Carmine, Texas, this antique haven sits at the most coveted intersection in town—a four-lane divided highway with a crossover and an impressive traffic count of 17,000-18,920 vehicles per day, as recorded by TXDOT. The property boasts a corner lot with feeder street access, ensuring convenience and visibility for visitors. With a 20-year legacy of excellent occupancy and a strong network of antique consignors, this venue represents a golden opportunity for antique dealers to invest in their very own space and benefit from consistent rental income and sales throughout the year. Operating seven days a week, Rita’s Antiques has cultivated a loyal customer base that returns time and time again. By simply integrating social media platforms and a customized website, the growth potential for this remarkable property is limitless. Additionally, its prime location adds to its appeal: just 7.3 miles from Round Top, a hub of year-round antique festivals and events, and 6.3 miles east along Hwy 290 from historic Burton, home to the renowned Texas Cotton Gin Museum and its festival, as well as charming shops and dining experiences. This is an extraordinary chance to own a piece of history and transform it into an even greater success story. Seller is a licensed broker in the State of Texas.
