                 Our Story

​

At The Real McCoy Antique & Vendor Market, every item has a story — and so do we.

Paul and I have spent our lives building businesses and building a life together. Before we met, I helped his family open three video stores — a hands-on start that laid the foundation for everything that followed. We were both navigating divorce when fate brought us together, and love grew from shared resilience, hard work, and a passion for sales.

From the days of King Tut Video to the vibrant community we've created at The Real McCoy, we've poured our hearts into every venture. Along the way, we raised our children in and around these businesses, teaching them the value of grit, creativity, and connection.

Our roots run deep in Appalachian history. I’m proud to be the great-great-granddaughter of Randolph and Sarah McCoy — central figures in the legendary Hatfield & McCoy feud. That legacy of strength, survival, and storytelling lives on in everything we do.

Today, our shop is more than a marketplace — it’s a reflection of our journey, our family, and the belief that real treasures are found in both the things we sell and the people we meet.
