Cambria, San Simeon, North Coast
Rich Man Poor Man Antiques Mall—
the collector’s ultimate experience
Rich Man Poor Man originated
in the mid-1970s in California’s
Central Valley, moving to Cayucos
over thirty-five years ago. Back
then the rage was Victorian fur-
nishings, China, faux florals, and
lots of brown furniture. “Things
certainly have changed since then,”
said JoAnna Crebs, who co-owns
the mall with her hus-
band Myles. In 2012
the Crebs moved
to the Redwood
Center (cur-
rently under
renovation)
at 2110
Main Street
in Cambria.
Quality
antique and
vintage dealers
fill the mall with
estate jewelry, Na-
tive American jewelry
and artifacts, antique and mid-
century furniture, antique lighting,
decor in all fashions, coins, fine
art, toys, books, fine pottery, sports
memorabilia, vintage clothing,
collectible Hawaiiana including
shirts, fine China and sterling silver
flatware. The mall includes an
outdoor area with plants, planters,
outdoor furniture, and all forms of
rusty treasures.
Big John’s Man Cave, which
has been around for many years,
is a popular locale in the store for
all things manly. Knives, cast iron,
collectible signs, pipes, toys, sports
and automotive collectibles, and
specialty items can be found ready
for the man cave at home.
The Creekside Restaurant and
Redwood Cafe are steps away serv-
ing terrific breakfasts and lunch.
Shoppers can
take a break
to refuel and
then continue
shopping. Visi-
tors come from
everywhere in
the United States
and many from
other countries. The
mall in Cambria is just a
short drive to Hearst Castle and the
elephant seals in San Simeon.
Myles and JoAnna Crebs, both
retired accountants have owned
Rich Man Poor Man Antique Mall
since 1999. “Owning the mall has
been the most fun second career
we could have chosen,” said Joanna.
“The wonderful customers and
dealers we have met over the years
have been an absolute pleasure! You
just don’t know what the latest hot
item will be, often it will be what
Martha Stewart or Joanna Gaines
decorates with.”
The Crebs are having the time
of their lives at Rich Man Poor Man
Antiques Mall and plan on doing so
for many years to come. Provid-
ing quality antiques, vintage, and
collectibles, and superior customer
service has been the primary focus
Unmatched
Cambria charm,
timeless finds, and
unique collectibles
of the Rich Man Poor Man since
it was first opened. The Crebs an-
nounced the opening of a second
store at 2200 Main St. (down
the street from Taco Temple and
Spencer’s Market) in Morro Bay,
with 8000 square feet of wonder-
ful, doubling the opportunities
for collectors to find long-sought
treasures!
The treasures are constantly
changing. Visit often so you don’t
miss anything!
The showroom is located at 2110
