Three Penny Mercantile was probably the most fun shop we visited throughout our Ashland mini-vacation. From the get-go, the staff were welcoming and friendly, engaging us in conversation about all sorts of nonsense that had nothing to do with the shop, such as roller skates (which one of the ladies was wearing), sci-fi, and life in general. It was a nice personal touch that really endeared us to the store, and stands in stark contrast to the blasé, unaffected state of customer service we so often encounter at other shops.Everything in the shop oozed with unique or distinct design, hand-picked by the eye of someone with an eye for flair, flamboyance or fun. Prices were all very reasonable, which came as a surprise in a tourist town like Ashland. While my wife perused the clothing racks, I plumbed the various paperback books on the shelves, picked one out and walked away happy with my choice, for $5 bucks! Not intending to name drop, I asked the attendants if it was OK to take pictures for Yelp, to which they happily agreed, and seemed very thankful. So much so, in fact, that the owner (my guess) told me to pick out another paperback for free! Sometimes, there are perks! My wife also purchased a cute pair of key earrings.Another great perk about the shop was that it stayed open late...like, really late, compared to everything else but the bars. We walked by a few minutes to 11pm and the doors were still open, and music could be heard thumping from within. Had we not been en route to somewhere else, we probably would have popped in again, just to say hey!Well definitely be making a return stop the next time we are in Ashland, if for no other reason than Ill likely be expected to provide a detailed review of the books I purchased!
This is THE greatest and best place... Ever!!! The ladies are quite possibly the coolest people in the multiverse.If youre looking for something special or maybe a defining piece to send your cool factor into the stratosphere then look no further.Truly a place to appreciate in a town that offers so much... Id put more gold stars if I could
An incredibly amazing place to spend time in Ashland. Would recommend stopping by, even if just to hang out with the awesome staff!
I LOVE this place! I happened upon the store when visiting Ashland and I was immediately in love the second I stepped inside. They have so much cute, vintage clothing as well as some new clothing, too. They also have a good selection of vintage postcards, pins/buttons, and patches, pus they have stickers---who doesnt love a good sticker. The staff is extremely friendly. I cant wait to stop by again the next time Im in Ashland!!!

What a cute hippie thrift shop in downtown Ashland! I got a pair of real feather earrings here for ONLY $2!!! And!- a pair of wooly gloves for under $10, no holes, just primo vintage vibes...kinda more 90’s than anything...
When you make a promise to be back soon you should probably follow through with it
