Antique Shops
To me these are generic business, but they seem to be popping up more often, so obviously somebody out there thinks otherwise. Personally I can't think of any criteria they meet... perhaps they have cultural or historical significance? Or are they truly just shops selling old used junk...
Somebody prove me wrong... is there any reason not to give these 1*?

I think it really depends. There's some in my town that are honestly just junk shops more than antique shops. But I've also been in some really cool ones that I think would have a chance with some good support info.

There'd have to be a good individual case put forward for them, otherwise they'd be a "generic business" rejection from me. In some cases, they may have a permanent display that may be more eligible but that may be difficult to prove.

I would see them as filling the criterion "Tourist spots that showcase local flavor and culture and that make your city/neighborhood unique". People do travel long distances to visit these antique shops. And while these shops are frequently clustered together, they aren't common.

There is one in glasgow relics, but thays been in for ages, not at the start of pogo but maybe 2 years. Honestly it just depends, if theres loads of these shops clustered together or it was recently opened, I wouldnt accept but if there was only one in the area and it had been open a decent length of time (to show permanence) then I would pass it
