Frank Loves Junk
#Fairfield Connecticut– Every time I get on I-95 I pass by Frank Loves Junk on Commerce Drive at 27a Haley Court in Fairfield. I finally stopped by to see what he was all about. Very neat place to visit I must say. It is kind of like American Pickers in Connecticut but you can also find some modern things in the mix. I picked up some Wolfgang Puck knives while my wife got some China dishes from France. Like Frank said what you would expect to find in a home like furniture, chairs, lamps, dishes and toys. I even got a Bobby Labonte NASCAR action figure with Bobby in the Interstate uniform!
Frank will also do estate clean outs, residents and offices too. You can spend hours in “Frank’s Treasure Trove”, it is a lot of fun. You can contact Frank at 203-209-6367, online at FrankLovesJunk.com or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/FrankLovesJunk/?fref=ts
A little trivia: Frank also loves the song Volare, which was the name of his first estate business. The name didn’t tell what he did so he went with Frank Loves Junk, more specific! That is why I used Volare instrumental as the background song.
