When not on the road searching for antique treasures, Robbie owns and operates his own shop, United Service Motors, in Davenport, Iowa.

Robbie purchased the office building in Davenport, Iowa, in March 2021 for $200,000.

Renovations to the building included a new roof for $24,755 and plumbing and electrical for $900.

“The garage door makes everything fit together,” the History Channel star wrote on Instagram after the sale. “I love the history of this building built in 1939 as an automotive building in downtown Davenport.

“You’ll stay alive.”

Inside that giant garage door is a scavenger’s paradise.

Among the new features are several classic cars.

An old Ford truck sits in the middle of the garage, covered in dust. Surrounding it are several curiosities, such as a giant model airplane and a British telephone booth.

A neon Hotel sign hangs over the vehicle.

Additionally, a small red sports car is elevated on a mechanical lift, waiting to be repaired.

A variety of parts and accessories are spread out behind him – just like the lower half of a mannequin, exposing only the denim-clad legs.

Elsewhere, a rack of tattered shirts and coats sits behind an empty car engine.

Behind him is a sign advertising Mobil oil, next to a life-size mannequin of former Iowa Hawkeye and NFL linebacker Pat Angerer.

MEET THE CAST OF AMERICAN PICKERS

American Pickers has had some cast changes, but the current season finds Mike Wolfe, Robbie Wolfe, Jon Szalay and Danielle Colby scouring the country for rare antiques.

Mike Lobo

Mike, an Iowa native, has been with the show since its launch in 2010. The star originally started the show with his friend Frank Fritz, who left suddenly in 2021 amid a feud with Mike.

Mike has a collection of business ventures outside of the show and also spends a lot of time with his model girlfriend Leticia Cline.

ROBBIE LOBO

Mike’s brother, Robbie, has joined the program on many antique hunts since Frank’s departure.

Just like Mike, Robbie has an antique store to run when he’s not on screen.

JON SZALAY

‘Jersey Jon’ only became a full cast member in December 2023, but has a lot of history with the Wolfe brothers.

According to his History Channel bio, the newcomer is a “longtime friend of Mike Wolfe.”

DANIELLE COLBY

Danielle appeared on screen with the team when the show began in 2010, becoming known as the charismatic store manager.

When ‘the Rust Queen’ isn’t hunting for antiques, she can often be found sharing raunchy burlesque videos on social media and putting on shows across the country.

Pat is in full uniform, mid-step, with his name and number 43 on his back.

The former Indianapolis Colt was born in Bettendorf, the next town over from Davenport, and appears to be Robbie’s favorite.

Additionally, a wall of metal and tin signs displays advertisements and information from previous years.

A reflective stop sign stands guard near several mechanic stations.

One advertises a wheel alignment service. Others connect batteries and engine oil.

A large neon cross with the message Jesus Saves ignores everything.

Classic signs are a standard feature in the store.

Another section offers more oil cans, along with a boat sign, a distant surfboard, and a vintage motorcycle waiting for love.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Outside, more treasures await, including a fleet of classic go-karts.

A large supermarket sign sits next to them, waiting to be loved.

An oil stain can be seen on the concrete floor, a sign of some rehabilitated classic roadster.

The store is hidden in the city.

With more outdoor space, there are more dilapidated and disabled vehicles, as well as a large clock tower.

The giant white garage door welcomes people as they enter.

Welcoming visitors to the front of the store is the American Giant – a towering replica of a former Texaco mechanic, waving to passersby.

Next to it is a billboard celebrating downtown Davenport, with the slogan “Made and Shaped by History.”

A trio of nostalgic photos helps portray the city in years gone by.

Finally, a tin sign that looks too big to keep indoors advertises Coca-Cola products.

MIKE’S REFORM

Robbie’s restock comes on the heels of Mike’s renovation of his Nashville store.

Fans criticized the reality show host for stocking his shelves mostly with expensive merchandise from his show.

When not Picking, Mike owns and runs Antique Archeology.

The 58-year-old has two stores, located in Le Claire, Iowa, and Nashville, Tennessee.

Disappointed customers expressed their frustrations after Mike sold merchandise from his store instead of antiques.

US Sun can exclusively reveal that Mike has restocked his Nashville store with new options.

“Store employees change the layout monthly, moving antiques and merchandise around,” a source exclusively told The US Sun.

And it looks like Mike approved of the new decor.

“When Mike comes in for his monthly visit, he loves being surprised by the changes,” the source continued.
