Which character owns the antique shop in Stars Hollow?

The story behind the answer

Mrs. Kim owns the antique shop in Stars Hollow. She is Lane Kim’s strict and deeply religious mother, and her shop is both a business and the Kim family home.

Mrs. Kim’s rules shape Lane’s early story. Lane secretly listens to rock music, dates, and plays drums because she expects her mother to disapprove of those interests. Despite their conflicts, Mrs. Kim supports Lane in important moments and eventually accepts aspects of her daughter’s independent life.

The shop is sometimes mistaken for one of Stars Hollow’s other businesses, such as Doose’s Market or the antique store associated with another resident. Mrs. Kim’s business is specifically an antique shop.
