American Pickers’ Mike Wolf shares emotional post about his life’s direction as his show suffers a ratings plummet.

Hello everyone, my name is Elena B. Welcome back to another video. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Before starting the video, please go ahead and hit the subscribe button and give this video a thumbs up.

Mike Wolf has turned reminiscent as he faces the fact that his show, American Pickers, is hemorrhaging viewers. The reality host does have a backup plan in place, just in case. Besides being a picker, Mike is also an avid classic car and motorcycle collector.

The 59-year-old’s latest acquisition is a 1913 Eagle motorcycle with its original paint. Mike shared a close-up photo of his new prized possession on Instagram, along with a note of appreciation:
“This bike was owned for years by fellow Club member and mentor to so many, Mike Smith,” the picker posted. “Honored to take it home and be its new caretaker.”

American Pickers‘ Danielle Colby announces a new project away from the show. Mike then went on to recognize a recent gearhead meetup, turning inward to confess how important his relationships are at this point in his life:
“The Antique Motorcycle meet in Davenport, Iowa, never disappoints. I’ve been going to this event for 30 years now. I owe a lot of the direction in my life to the other vendors and passionate pickers that call this little slice of heaven home for a few days a year.”

As the newest season of American Pickers struggles in the ratings, Mike appears to have enacted a backup plan. The host has announced the opening of a new gift shop designed to pay tribute to classic cars of a lost generation.

Last week, Mike shared a video celebrating the personal passion project of his. Months in the making, he opened the doors on his Columbia Motor Alley—a 1947 Chevy dealership in Tennessee that Mike refurbished and turned into a classic shrine for car lovers.

In a grand opening video he posted to Instagram, Mike revved up to the shop in a vintage motorcycle. Neon signs and classic cars paint the picture of a car dealership straight out of the 1940s. However, instead of selling gas-guzzling autos, Mike will be pumping cash into his pockets through the sale of merchandise.

In the caption for the post, the host said:
“Motor Alley is now open. Discover a gearhead’s paradise at our newly opened merch shop. Swing by and check us out every Friday and Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM.”

After providing the new store’s address, he shared some background about the location:
“Explore the story behind Columbia Motor Alley—a slice of history where Mike’s love for transportation and preservation revs up. Let’s bring back the charm of forgotten places and reimagine the legacy of America’s backroads. Join us in celebrating the old cars, signs, and gas pumps that shaped our journey.”

But besides a few old-timey cars outside and a nostalgic interior design, the store appears to be simply another gift shop for the History Channel star. Mike may soon be hosting going-out-of-business sales, especially if viewership for American Pickers doesn’t pick up.

The U.S. Sun previously revealed that ratings for the series have been low compared to past seasons. The August 23 episode brought in just 620,000 viewers—the lowest of the season.

The August 16 episode of American Pickers had 706,000 people watch, while the August 9 episode had 778,000 viewers tune in. Ratings were high for the July 26 episode, with 885,000 viewers watching.
