Georgia native Charles Pharr, Jr., better known as Mr. Aardvark, began his career operating his family-owned thrift store in 1994, selling mostly used furniture. It was not long before he fell in love with the craftsmanship, beauty, uniqueness, long-lasting quality, and increasing value of antique furniture -- the type of furniture he wanted for himself and for others to enjoy.
