Step #1: Determine Goals for Your Antique Store

Your business’s name is the very first connection you will make with prospective customers. It’s important that you define your organization’s mission, vision, values, and target audience as much as possible. 

Before naming your antique store venture,  ensure that you fully understand exactly how you will run your company. Familiarize yourself with the industry and determine what it takes to start a successful business by conducting thorough research.

Here are a few factors to keep in mind when launching and naming an antique store:

• Your antique store may sell items online, in a booth at an antique mall, at craft fairs or flea markets, or in your own stand alone store front--or in a combination of all of those places. 
• Most antique dealers specialize in a specific segment of antiques such as furniture, vintage jewelry, printed media, or even commercial signs.
• If you have a passion for a beautifully crafted table or marvel at the function of an old butter churn, you have the first requirement of a successful antiques dealer. 
• You must also have a desire to turn a profit and be able to let go of your carefully selected inventory quickly and without any sense of loss.
• Customers who regularly purchase from antique stores value quality construction and elegance over a fancy showroom with over solicitous sales staff. 

Step #2: Begin Brainstorming

We’ve used general brainstorming techniques to share several creative and catchy business name ideas for an antique store.

Creative Approaches to Naming an Antique Store

The following are helpful tips to help you find a unique business name that is relevant to you and/or your industry:

Capitalize on Business Location

The name of your city is one great way to brand your business. You can also think of nicknames that define what your city or state is well known for.

Connecting Through Emotion

Words that evoke a certain emotion, reminders of personal experiences, and travel memories may be good for branding. 

Pun Fun, Word Combination, and Alliteration

Make brainstorming fun by creating puns, combining two relevant words and/or concepts, or by using same letter and sound repetition. 

Short and Sweet

Oftentimes, simply using one word for a business name can be more powerful and engaging for clients/customers. Carefully consider your brand and brainstorm adjectives and synonyms that describe your business idea. For instance, if you own an antique store, ask yourself how you would describe what you’re offering (e.g., antiques, restoration, curation, furniture, etc.). Consider how you want your customers to feel (excited, accomplished, enthusiastic, etc.), and so on.
