Spartanburg – Reinvintage Warehouse, a beloved artisan marketplace known for showcasing handmade and upcycled goods, is set to relocate from its current home at 1201 Union Street to a larger space at Drayton Mills Marketplace in late September 2025. The new location is scheduled to open on September 26, 2025, marking a significant expansion for the business after nine years on Union Street.
The existing location at Union Street will remain operational until December 2025, allowing customers to continue patronizing the store during the transition. The relocation aims to enhance customer visibility for over 60 vendors who utilize the space to display their unique creations. With a larger venue, Reinvintage Warehouse anticipates providing an improved shopping experience, as well as accommodating more artisans and their goods.
Owner Danielle Kaminski believes the new site will attract a broader customer base due to its proximity to other popular businesses in the area, including Dray Bar & Grill, Pi-Squared Pizza, and a coffee shop, further enriching the shopping experience for patrons. Additionally, the new space will feature air conditioning, addressing a notable shortcoming of the current Union location, which lacked this essential comfort.
The decision to relocate follows a substantial rebranding initiative that took place in late 2021 when the store changed its name from Vintage Warehouse to Reinvintage Warehouse. This change was designed to better reflect its focus on offering a curated selection of vintage and upcycled items. The business is well-regarded for its community engagement and offers creative classes and workshops, such as a Mini Makers Art Class and Hand Built Ceramic Mug Workshops throughout the summer, fostering a creative environment for local talent.
Spartanburg is currently experiencing growth, and Kaminski aims to position Reinvintage Warehouse to capitalize on this upward trend. The new location at Drayton Mills Marketplace will not only accommodate more vendors but also create opportunities for collaborative events and gatherings, as there are plans to host an art event during the first weekend of October post-opening.
In addition to the anticipated art event, Reinvintage Warehouse is planning a special Christmas pop-up event to be held at the current location from October through December 2025. This event aims to celebrate the holiday season and will provide a space for local artisans to feature their seasonal creations.
Situated in a revitalizing area, Drayton Mills Marketplace also incorporates residential elements, featuring 289 luxury loft apartments at Drayton Mill Lofts. This blend of commercial and residential spaces is expected to attract a diverse crowd, further benefiting Reinvintage Warehouse and its vendors.
Reinvintage Warehouse has become a staple in Spartanburg’s artisan community, providing a platform for creators and small business owners to thrive. By moving to a larger space equipped with modern amenities, the owner aims to improve customer experience while supporting the local economy and fostering community connections. The anticipated move and the calendar of events are expected to invigorate the marketplace and strengthen Reinvintage Warehouse’s presence in the local artisan scene.
