If you have spent any time walking around Downtown Ormond Beach, you already know that Dunn’s Attic is not your average consignment store. But now, the rest of the country knows it too. Southern Living magazine just featured Dunn’s Attic in a full spotlight piece, and for anyone who has spent a Saturday morning wandering those 12,000 square feet with a dollar mimosa in hand, the recognition feels long overdue.
The article, published February 26, 2026, highlights what locals in Volusia County have known for years: this place is something genuinely different. Not a thrift store, not a flea market. An experience. Read the full Southern Living feature here.
What Southern Living Actually Said
Southern Living praised Dunn’s Attic for three things that are honestly hard to argue with: the curation of vintage finds, the store’s deep roots in the local community, and yes, the dollar mimosas.
Owner Wes Dunn has always said that shopping should be an event, not an errand. That idea did not come out of nowhere. The Dunn family has been doing business in Volusia County for over 125 years across seven generations. When Wes opened Dunn’s Attic in August 2013 at 136 W. Granada Blvd., he was building on a legacy that traces back to 1905, when John T. Dunn opened Dunn Bros Hardware on Beach Street in Daytona Beach. At the time, Daytona’s streets were still paved with oyster shells.
That kind of history is baked into everything about the store. The inventory changes daily. The staff actually knows what they are selling. And when you walk through the door, someone is going to welcome you before you make it ten steps inside. That is not a corporate training standard. It is a 120-year-old family rule.
About Those Dollar Mimosas
Southern Living made a point of calling out the $1 mimosas, and honestly, they deserve their own paragraph.
Wes Dunn got the idea from visiting a small shop years ago that offered cookies and a drink at the door. Simple hospitality, the kind that only an independent business can actually pull off. He wanted to do the same thing, just turned up a notch. So mimosas became the move. Dunn’s Attic now goes through roughly 250 cases of champagne a year, making them one of the largest buyers of champagne in North Central Florida. About 3,000 bottles a year, all for a dollar a glass.
It sounds like a small detail. But it is really the whole philosophy in a glass. You are not just running an errand at Dunn’s. You are spending a morning.
What You’ll Find Inside the Store
Spread across 12,000 square feet in the heart of Ormond Beach Main Street, Dunn’s Attic carries consignment furniture, antiques, home decor, art, jewelry, collectibles, and a whole lot of things you did not know you needed until you saw them. We are talking Lenox, Waterford, Tiffany, Hooker, Ethan Allen. Name brands at consignment prices, alongside one-of-a-kind vintage pieces that came from real homes with real histories.
The inventory does not sit still. With over 4,800 active consignors and an average of 2,000 items sold every single month, the floor looks different every time you come back. Regulars know this. Some customers stop in nearly every day.
Do not miss Dunn’s Too, the store’s nautical department at 140 W. Granada Blvd. right next door. If you have a coastal home in Volusia County, Flagler County, or anywhere along the Halifax River area, it is worth a separate trip.
Rosie’s Cafe: Eat First, Then Shop
Named after Wes’s wife Rosanne, Rosie’s Cafe sits right inside the store and seats 80 people. The menu runs breakfast and lunch daily until 4 p.m., with made-to-order food, over 180 vintage beverage options, Bloody Marys, and of course, those dollar mimosas. It is the only consignment store near Daytona Beach where you can sit down to a real meal, browse the menu, and then go walk off your eggs among mid-century dressers and estate jewelry.
Rosie’s is open Tuesday through Sunday starting at 8 a.m. The store opens at 10 a.m. on weekdays and Saturday, and 11 a.m. on Sunday. Both are closed Mondays during the summer.
Why the Southern Living Feature Actually Matters
Southern Living reaches millions of readers across the South and beyond. When they spotlight a small, family-owned consignment shop in Ormond Beach, Florida, it sends a message: this is a destination worth driving to.
And for anyone who lives here in Volusia County, that is worth celebrating. Ormond Beach is not always on the short list when people talk about shopping destinations on Florida’s East Coast. This feature puts it there. It tells anyone flying into Daytona Beach International, visiting for Bike Week, or driving down A1A for a beach trip that there is a reason to make a detour into Downtown Ormond Beach.
Wes Dunn put it plainly when talking about how the store has stayed relevant for over a decade: the willingness to be nimble. To adjust when something is not working. To find what keeps a small business alive and worth visiting. That is not a strategy. That is just good instincts, honed over seven generations.
