How We Got Started

Welcome to The Rusty Pick, where vintage charm meets creative inspiration! Located in Waite Park, MN, The Rusty Pick is a family-owned treasure trove of unique finds, carefully curated by owners Todd and Juli.

Todd and Juli share a passion for antiques and helping others discover the perfect pick to bring their visions to life. Whether you’re searching for one-of-a-kind vintage items, home décor, or crafting supplies, we take pride in offering a constantly evolving selection of treasures.

At The Rusty Pick, we’re here to help you find something that speaks to your story. Stop in, explore, and let us be a part of your creative journey!

The story of The Rusty Pick is one that has grown over time. We started out as vendors in six different antique stores, participating in various shows along the way. In 2015, we opened our first store in downtown St. Cloud, and in 2017, we moved to our current location in Waite Park.

Since 2011, Todd and Juli Scott have been immersed in the world of antiques. Our journey has been one of passion, growth, and dedication to preserving the charm of antiques and salvage. While we’ve expanded to offer something for everyone, maintaining our focus on timeless, unique pieces remains at the heart of what we do. In 2023, we were even invited to be part of HGTV’s Ugliest House in America—a proud moment for our little shop.

We owe much of our success to our loyal customers who visit us regularly, as well as to the many newcomers who walk through our doors each day. We’re also incredibly thankful for our amazing staff, as both Todd, a full-time nurse, and Juli, a full-time teacher, rely on their hard work to keep the store running smoothly.

We’d love for you to stop by and see what makes The Rusty Pick special.

We’re open seven days a week. Come visit and discover something truly unique!
