I am disheartened to see the mask mandate not being adhered to by several customers here. Normally, I wouldn’t say anything, (business owners can only do so much about maskless customers) but as I was leaving, I noticed none of the staff were wearing their masks properly: noses exposed, mouths exposed while speaking. I have not seen this at other local antique malls. The customers I saw without masks did not even have masks-in-hand, and several customers, whom I saw as I was leaving, were plainly wearing their masks as chin straps. I feel bad for vendors here, losing their more Covid-conscious customers. I will give this business points for good ventilation, but I can’t say I’d visit on a rainy day when that’s not possible... I realize at this point in the pandemic, many of us are either vaccinated or have had Covid-19, but masking properly is just a very easy thing to do to protect others, to show that you know Covid is still spreading and still hospitalizing vulnerable people, and that you choose to care. It’s not forever, it’s...

Things were reasonably priced. If you have time to browse for a while this place is definitely worth to your...
Read moreGreat afternoon enjoying the many vendor stalls at Riverside Centre Antique. Most items, however, seemed pricey and beyond what I would be willing to pay. We were specifically in the market for ornate fireplace screens, but didn't find what we were looking for. I was more impressed with the retro items and fittings (maybe it was the artistic staging of them) than the antiques which were interesting, but not particularly memorable. There were a lot of reproductions, and handmade craft items that tended to make this feel more like a flea market in places, than an antique mall. There is a large exterior vendor space that is crammed with various items, many of which I think would suffer unnecessary deterioration in those hot humid conditions. Overall, any antique lover will enjoy a browse and maybe...
