Gracie’s Vintage has deals, fun, stories

KINGMAN – “This ain’t your grandma’s antique store,” is how Gracie’s Vintage owner Leah Burkhart describes her business. “We’re fun. We’re the fun personal shop.” That concise description represents a perception of her business, that is illustrated by the contents of the business.
