Earlier this month I reported on the death of Laurie Wroda, owner of the Westfield Village Antique Center. Following Laurie’s death, her husband Jim announced the WVAC would close at the end of 2025.
Well, as Lee Corso would say, not so fast! On Monday, the WVAC shared good news with their Facebook followers:
“We are pleased to announce that after a brief reorganization under new management at the Center, there will be a FEBRUARY 2026 RE-OPENING! Many of your favorite vendors will be staying on with exciting new changes ahead also! Stay tuned for developments as they come and meanwhile, stop in to browse or chat.”
The WVAC provided an additional update on Tuesday when it posted that Matthew Wroda Auctions (owned and run by Jim and Laurie’s son, Matthew) will continue to operate in the rear of the building and will be expanding their footprint.
