I<\/strong>N BOWLING Green, there\u2019s a business where nostalgia meets affordability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikki Davis owns and operates the Consignment Corner, which opened in 2008 and has become a staple for locals looking for unique finds, hidden gems, and bargains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running this business is something that is rooted in Davis\u2019 blood and past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce you do what we do, which we always call \u2018junkin\u2019,\u2019 most junkers will tell you once it\u2019s in your blood, it\u2019s just something you like to do,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a pastime she often shared with her mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe used to go yard selling and go to auctions, and I just loved it. And I always said I wanted to open the consignment store one day,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the store, shelves are neatly arranged with antiques, vintage clothing, home decor, and rare collectibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her original space was only 2,500 square feet, and Davis quickly needed to expand. She acquired the building across the street, which offered an expansive 11,000 square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a big jump, and after a lot of talking and thoughts and prayers, it\u2019s like, either go big or go home,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She purchased the 17,000-square-foot building she\u2019s in now in 2021. But right when she was set to open in December, a tornado hit that Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t get to open on time,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIt blew out a couple of windows. It blew out every piece of furniture. The winds were so crazy, a cushion got stuck up in the ceiling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She closed for a week to clean up and reopened the following weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of my vendors came in and helped us clean up everything,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges, Davis has remained committed to creating a space where everyone feels welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care if you\u2019ve got 50 cents in your pocket or you want to spend $500, you are able to come in this store and find something,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main level of the shop is all consignment, consisting mainly of furniture and home decor, but downstairs is what customers tend to call the \u201cmini-mall,\u201d which hosts more than 50 vendors with booth spaces of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have very good vendors who work their booths, keep everything looking good, and keep their prices low,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davis added that because Bowling Green is a college town where students attend Western Kentucky University, that clientele has become a large part of her business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can tell when the kids are in town and when they\u2019re on break,\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wants to make secondhand shopping an inclusive experience for everyone \u2014 whether they\u2019re collectors, bargain hunters, or simply looking to relive cherished memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis reminds me of my childhood. There\u2019s stuff in here that when I was growing up, my parents had this, or my grandmother had it – it brings back memories and positive memories,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She attributes her success and inspiration to her late mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy mother was my inspiration, and I lost her a few years ago,\u201d she said, choking up. \u201cBut now my dad is a part of it, and that\u2019s really special.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She loves that the inventory is ever-changing, creating a different experience for visitors each time they enter the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love the thrill of the hunt, the thrill of the sale, and just finding stuff,\u201d Davis said. GN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
