What began as a vision to bring together vintage treasures and talented curators has grown into a favorite destination for shoppers and collectors throughout the area. Found + Reclaimed Shop of Curators is proud to celebrate its first year in business, offering a unique shopping experience in downtown Algona.

Connected to RS Home & Design, Found + Reclaimed is a vendor mall featuring an ever-changing collection of antiques, vintage décor, furniture, collectibles, repurposed pieces, and one-of-a-kind finds. With multiple vendors under one roof, every visit offers something new, making it a must-stop destination for treasure hunters, home decorators, and those who appreciate the charm and character of vintage pieces.

In just one year, Found + Reclaimed has created a welcoming space where shoppers can discover hidden gems while providing vendors with an opportunity to share their own curated collections with the community. Their constantly changing inventory and passion for preserving the past have helped make the shop a unique addition to downtown Algona.

Congratulations to Found + Reclaimed Shop of Curators on celebrating one year in business! The public is invited to learn more and celebrate with them as they host the Weekly Chamber Coffee on Friday, June 26, at 9:30 a.m. Stop in, enjoy refreshments, and see what's new inside this growing downtown destination.

Snap-on's success is built on a strong foundation of core beliefs, including non-negotiable product and workplace safety, uncompromising quality, passionate customer care, fearless innovation, and a commitment to continuous improvement. These principles are reinforced by company values that emphasize integrity, honesty, respect for individuals, teamwork, and listening to others.

The company's vision is to be recognized as the brand of choice, employer of choice, business partner of choice, and investment of choice. Those goals are reflected daily in the work performed by the dedicated team at the Algona facility.
