Mike's vacation came amid the TV personality's struggles in his work life in recent months.
STRUGGLING SALES
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed Mike's Iowa store is struggling with low sales.
Mike owns Antique Archaeology with stores located in Le Claire, Iowa, and Nashville, Tennessee.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal Antique Archaeology in Iowa’s estimated annual sales, per Experian’s Business Valuation Report.
Antique Archaeology’s estimated annual sales are reportedly $62,000.
The company’s Business Credit Score is 23, which is “medium-high risk.”
The report read: “This score predicts the likelihood of serious credit delinquencies within the next 12 months.”
As for the Financial Stability Risk Ratings, Antique Archaeology received a medium risk of three out of five rating.
The report claimed: “This rating predicts the likelihood of payment default and/or bankruptcy within the next 12 months.”
STORE BACKLASH
Mike has previously been slammed by customers for seemingly over-priced items and selling merchandise instead of actual antiques at the Nashville, Tennessee location.
One disgruntled customer recently wrote on Google Reviews regarding the Iowa store: “Seriously there was only a handful of stuff that had been potentially picked. The rest of it was cheap Chinese-branded merchandise used to promote the store.
“I get it's a tourist trap, but come on, at least do better than that. I would have happily dropped hundreds of dollars in there if it was something really cool. Instead, it was like three things that had been picked ranging from $200 to $4,000.”
A second customer commented: “This is more of a souvenir shop for the show. Not many antiques at all.”
A third blasted: “Was very disappointed. We made this a special stop on our drive home, took this route especially for this experience. Both buildings are very small and mostly gift shops selling their own merchandise.
“Grabbed an item as a souvenir, marked $3, but charged $9. And for as much as Mike and the team picks, where is it?”
The backlash comes amid increasingly low viewers ratings for American Pickers.
