Hamilton store that recently expanded is shutting down Saturday

Serendipity on Main will close its doors for the final time on Saturday.

"It's time to retire so we're moving on to other pastures," the business posted to Facebook. "Thanks for all the support we've received from Hamilton and the surrounding area!"

Serendipity's nearly two-year run on Main Street will culminate with a sidewalk sale from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday featuring discounts, plus new and special merchandise brought in especially for the store's last sale.

The store opened in the summer of 2016 at 233 Main St. aiming to provide rediscovered, repurposed vintage, antiques and treasures for the home, office and garden. It expanded upstairs last year, adding a selection of vintage clothes.

"I want to be able to travel whenever I want to visit my daughter during her medical residency," owner Nan Rawlins told this news outlet. "I'll be renting a space at the new and soon-to-open Hamilton Corner Antiques at the corner of Millville and Edgewood.

Rawlins said the owners of that shop, Gary Young and Jeff Crayton, previously rented space from her and now the roles are reversed.

“This way I can come and go as I please while maintaining a retail presence in the Main Street area.”
