Persian Cat Vintage, 256 Locust St., Columbia, held a grand opening on Oct. 11 from 4 to 9 p.m. The vintage clothing, antique and collectible store is owned by Benjamin Ilkhanoff. Also on hand at the co-op event was Traveling J's Food Truck, owned by Benjamin's brother, Justin Ilkhanoff.

This is the second location for Persian Cat Vintage, which specializes in goods ranging from the 1940s to the early 2000s. Benjamin said his goal is to connect customers with a piece of the past that they will then give a new home, story and purpose at an affordable price.
