Broadway Antique Market Closing | Chicago News

After 30 years as Chicago’s premier antique haven, owners Duane Cerny and Jeff Nelson are calling it quits—selling the beloved Broadway Antique Market amid soaring property taxes that’ve jumped from $70K to over $103K annually. Once a Wrigleyville fixture that saved the building from becoming a Blockbuster, the store has hosted thousands of home decor dreams and loyal dealers—including Nelson, who’s been there since 1990 and plans to retire if the doors close. Described as a “department store of cool and unique finds,” the market’s global acclaim even landed it in an Italian guidebook. With no official closing date yet, the shop will stay open through the holidays, hoping a new owner will keep its legacy alive.
