Consignment, furniture store coming to Jackson

The Hidden Attic, a furniture and consignment store, soon will open at the former location of Ross Furniture on South High Street in Jackson.

Owner Daniel Glasco said in a news release the store will offer furniture from store closeouts, factory overruns and local consignments of home decor.

The store formerly operated in Marion, Illinois, but is moving to Jackson because of the attraction of the area and the market, Glasco said.

The Hidden Attic is set to open March 16 with business hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
