Johnny Junk & Co. is the best antique store in Anoka and one of the top ten antique stores in the Twin Cities!Johnny Junk is small but don't let size fool you. It's packed with awesome antiques. John carries a lot of high end merchandise like antique gas pumps, signs, jukeboxes, neon, antique clocks, advertising, and vintage coin-op vending. Check out my photos...they'll give you a good idea of what this store is all about.Since there's one owner, John, he's free to sell whatever he wants. I'd say his shop has a lot of appeal for male antique collectors in particular...but not exclusively. I'd also say that a lot of his stuff is expensive and high end...but priced fairly considering the rarity.Definitely worth a stop! I stop by on a regular basis. And my wife and I have dropped some dough in his store. Great stuff and a great guy!-Daddy Maxx Retro
