What is the Southend Emporium?
It is a shopping extravaganza showcasing an ever-changing selection of new, vintage, and reimagined merchandise from our family of vendors – a new and family friendly reinvention of many of the vendors and products of the former Indoor Flea Market.
Now located across from Young Appliance on U.S. 23 South in Alpena, MI inside the former Alpena Health and Racquet Club.
A Look to the Future
We are currently undergoing utility and structural upgrades and changes to the inside of the building to allow for space for the new business. We will have expanded hours which will now include Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. In the future we hope to have the option to be open daily. We are committed to make this business a bright, clean environment for shoppers looking for both old and new items, including upcycled art and antique pieces.
​
The Art & History Center will be Phase 2 of our overall plans. After major renovations to the upper floor we expect to be offering a variety of learning experiences as detailed below. Please watch for future announcements as we roll out Phase 2.
Finally, we are hoping to revisit the possibility of creating an Alpena & Area Historical Society and giving it a home to grow.
