AMERICAN Pickers star Frank Fritz’s Illinois antique store has made a handful of high-priced sales, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.

As Frank, 60, has been away from Frank Fritz Finds while recovering from a severe stroke, sales have been sinking.

Frank has been missing from the shop as he has been on the mend from a serious stroke he suffered in 2022

Frank Fritz has sold a couple of items at his antique shop in Illinois

The items brought a boost to the struggling business

The U.S. Sun can exclusively report Frank’s modest shop has marked a few items as sold.

One of Frank’s recent sales included a pair of ornate, gold lamp bases.

Detailed scenes were etched into the sides.

He sold a second pair of antique lamp bases, but these were more simple.

They both had a solid teal base.

Frank also sold a wooden bed frame.

It was minimalist and had a simple design sketched on the center of the foot of the bed.

They were clear, had a wide rim at the top, and had a wide black band dividing the stem and the glass.

The sales mean better business for Frank because The U.S. Sun reported he had an income of $25,000 in 2023, which placed the store’s future in jeopardy.

BAD FOR BUSINESS

Before Frank made these recent sales, The U.S. Sun reported the place had been “empty” in 2023.

“There hasn’t been a single new item in the store,” an insider claimed.

“An employee told me new antiques come in ‘literally never,'” the source reported.

Additionally, Frank Fritz Finds has seen better days with its interior design.

The U.S. Sun obtained photos of the store which documented holes in the uneven floorboards, paint peeling off the walls and ceilings, and even dead bugs inside the glass cases.

ON THE MEND

Frank has been struggling to keep the business afloat as he has been in and out of rehabilitation since September 6, 2022 when he was released from the hospital after suffering a stroke on July 14, 2022.

On August 18, 2022, his friends filed an emergency appointment of a temporary guardian and conservator for the star.

They were concerned his health was declining at a pace, which impaired his decision-making regarding his financials.

However, Frank is reportedly on the mend and has been taking his time with his recovery.

“He’s not overdoing it and trying to prove anything to himself,” an insider revealed.

“[Frank is] honoring what needs to be right now [and] I hope he bounces back,” the source said.

“I have faith will,” Frank’s friend concluded optimistically.

Last year, Frank Fritz Finds only had a total of $25,000 in sales
