With a passion for Art Deco, owners William Franklin and
Chris McDaniels wanted to make their mark on the revitalization of the downtown
area. The shop, specializing in books, gifts, and toys, has several areas with
unique items that Franklin and McDaniels specially selected.
The distinctive sections of the store are home to books,
toys, kitchen items, Art Deco products, men’s products and more. Throughout the
building there is a blend of old and new that come together wonderfully. Adorable
teapots, sock monkeys and Etch-A-Sketches, and hand-crafted candles are just
some of the products Decopolis holds.

In a back corner are large paintings done by Franklin
himself that showcase his talent and love for Art Deco. The pieces are done in
black and white, and are placed just above the modern Art Deco items the shop
has.
Franklin
hopes in the future to focus more on the bookstore aspect, and turn a section
of the shop that is now the "Atomic Kitchen" into the "Atomic
Tiki Room" having more fun retro inspired items of all types.
Whether you’re searching for a piece of your past, or a
creative gift idea, Decopolis has a variety of pieces to suit your needs.
