The shop will move into the King Street spot recently vacated by Arts Afire.
Red Barn Mercantile is moving to a new spot in Old Town and is marking down most of its merchandise before it relocates. The shop, which offers an eclectic mix of new and antique merchandise, is moving from S. Columbus Street to 1117 King St., which was recently vacated by Arts Afire. “We are really looking forward to this new opportunity,” said Red Barn owner Amy Rutherford. “King Street has always been the main artery for retail and dining in Old Town and I can’t wait to show off our one-of-a-kind merchandise to more visitors and residents of Alexandria.” Red Barn Mercantile opened its doors at 113 S.

Zoe, Lou Lou Boutique and Red Barn Mercantile make shopping for gifts a breeze.
I felt like I was playing a game of beat the clock. I needed to purchase three gifts today and only had about an hour in between my schedule of going to the gym and meeting friends at the pool. I have three weeks until I go back to work, and I am packing in as much working out, socializing and pool time as possible. I needed a housewarming gift, a birthday gift for a thirtysomething girlfriend, and a gift for a five-year-old girl.
