BizBeat: Frenchie's Antique Mall to close in July

Frenchie's Antique Mall will close sometime in July, manager Chris Bogg said.

Located in House of Bargains at 5505 Business 50 West in Cole County, the store sells a variety of antiques and furnishings. Bogg said Frenchie's reached a point where it didn't make sense economically to keep it open. Vendors in the antique mall were notified about a month ago, Bogg said.

Bogg's father, Carey Bogg, was a history buff and opened the antique mall in 2000. Carey Bogg died in January 2017.

Founded in 1959, House of Bargains also houses Jefferson Armory: Gun and Ammo Sales, H.O.B. Sporting Goods, a wedding and party supply rental company, an office furniture store, H.O.B. U-Haul Rental and a small cafe - all of which will remain open.

Chris Bogg said the company's diverse portfolio gives it a backbone that will support House of Bargains well into the future.

"We have a fairly large umbrella," he said.
