AMERICAN Pickers star Mike Wolfe's Nashville antique shop has opened late because of filming the History Channel show.
Mike, 58, owns two Antique Archaeology locations, one in Nashville, Tennessee, and another in his hometown of LeClaire, Iowa.
Antique Archaeology announced the delayed start to business on the store's Instagram account.
A Story post read, "OPEN AT 12PM TODAY."
It continued, "Due to filming, we will be opening at 12pm today.
"Thanks so much for your Pickin' patience!"

Last month, Mike's brother Robbie Wolfe and American Pickers star Jersey Jon confirmed the series had resumed filming despite their subpar television ratings.
Robbie took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes selfie that captured the TV personality and his co-star.
The pair were pictured in a garage filled with vintage cars with production equipment set up next to Jon.
"Filming all new shows of American Pickers. I hope your spring and summer is going to be a successful one Jersey John in the house," Robbie wrote in his caption.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
In March, Mike's online merchandise store started running again after abruptly shutting down.
The store includes the "Antique Picker Life Hat," the Wanderlust V-Neck" T-shirt, and the "Picker Nation" shirt.
A new logo on the carousel promised customers "fresh drops every month."
Instead of the "shop now" logo, the site had been hit with a disclaimer.
When users clicked on the sale section under the Shop category, potential buyers were greeted with a "Page not found" message.
"The page you were looking for doesn't exist. You may have mistyped the address, or the page may have moved," the message stated.
The site disruption came at the worst possible time, especially since the store's Instagram account has been teasing new apparel to buy.
The social media account promoted the "Picker Nation Tee" shirt in a short Reel.
"Old flake eagle, flag, and the essence of the hunt. Join the pickin’ crew and get this limited mineral wash tee while supplies last! SHOP NOW," the caption read.
'LITTLE GEM DOWNTOWN'
While the online store went on a brief hiatus, Mike promoted his Iowa antique store on Instagram.
He shared a snapshot of the tall two-story brick building, with all the windows and doors adorned with plywood.
Through the windows, the History Channels star showcased the merchandise and unique antiques inside the store.
"A year ago I restored this little gem downtown @visitleclaire Iowa it’s now the home of @emilyfoundit," the reality TV star wrote.

American Pickers has had a few cast changes, but the current season sees Mike Wolfe, Robbie Wolfe, Jon Szalay, and Danielle Colby scouring the nation for rare antique finds.
MIKE WOLFE
Illinois native Mike has been on the show since it first came out in 2010. The star originally started the shoe with buddy Frank Fritz, who suddenly left in 2021 amid a feud with Mike.
Mike has a collection of business ventures outside the show, and also spends plenty of time with his model girlfriend Leticia Cline.
ROBBIE WOLFE
Mike's brother Robbie has joined the show on plenty of antique hunts since Frank's departure.
Like Mike, Robbie has an antique store to run when not on-screen.
JON SZALAY
'Jersey Jon' only became a full cast member in December 2023, but has plenty of history with the Wolfe brothers.
According to his History Channel bio, the newcomer is a 'long-time picking pal of Mike Wolfe.'
DANIELLE COLBY
Danielle hit the screens with the team back when the show started in 2010, becoming known as the charismatic shop manager.
When 'the Queen of Rust' isn't antique hunting, she can often be found sharing racy burlesque videos on social media and putting on shows around the country.
He continued, "Our Main Street is actually part of the @greatriverroad, and we’re all proud of the history of this little town and all that it has to offer."
"Come check out my @antiquearchaeology store and explore the banks of the Mighty Mississippi River."
