The Fine Lion Antiques

The Fine Lion Antiques has grown into two adjoining storefronts on Griffin Road in Cooper City, at 9564 and 9540 Griffin Road, in a plaza the business itself refers to as Cooper Plaza. The shop’s own website describes more than 40 years of operation and credits a family legacy behind the current ownership, describing a network of dealers, some tied to that same family history, who rent space inside the shop to display their own inventory. That dealer mall structure, one storefront housing many individual sellers under a single roof, is the standard model for a serious antiques operation of this size, and it explains why the inventory spans such a wide range: furniture, collectible glass, vintage jewelry, lamps, china, and general bric-a-brac, according to the shop’s own description of a treasure trove of bric-a-brac and collectibles with, in their words, something for everyone.

Florida’s Division of Corporations confirms an active corporation, The Fine Lion Antiques Inc, filed under document number P18000059320. That filing date reflects when the current corporate entity was registered with the state, not necessarily when the shop first opened its doors. A business can operate for years as a sole proprietorship before formally incorporating, and the over 40 years figure on the company’s own site, together with a separate 36 years in business figure reported by Yellow Pages, both point to roots that predate the current corporate paperwork by a wide margin. Rather than guess at an exact founding year from conflicting figures, the honest summary is that this is a long established, multi generation antiques business, not a recent startup wearing a vintage sounding name.

The shop recently expanded into a second, adjacent storefront specifically to showcase, in the business’s own words, a higher quality of furnishings, suggesting a deliberate split between everyday collectibles and a more curated higher end furniture selection. Posted hours run Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 4:30 p.m., with Monday available by appointment only, a schedule typical of antique dealers who spend closed days sourcing estate items and prepping new stock rather than sitting on a sales floor.

The business is wheelchair accessible, offers free customer parking, and accepts all major credit cards according to its Yellow Pages profile, which along with Superpages independently confirms the Griffin Road address and phone number, (954) 680-6141. Customers can also reach the shop by email at thefinelionantiques@gmail.com. The Fine Lion Antiques actively recruits new dealers looking to rent display space, a detail that points to an ongoing, actively managed operation rather than a static storefront coasting on inventory it acquired years ago.
