Sanford Antique Mall — Attraction in Sanford

I thought about giving this place only one star. However, the actual store itself is lovely and seems to be filled with amazing finds. Upon arrival, I was not greeted and had quite an awkward encounter. Despite some recent family news of hospice care being needed for my father, I decided to pull myself together and go search for some take home gifts for an upcoming event this weekend. I only made it into the first couple of sections when emotions got the best of me and I simply asked a young lady, “Is there a reason you keep staring at me?” As soon as I said it, I felt taken aback...I’ve never spoke out if someone has overly stared their welcome and should’ve not said anything. I was looking at a few things afterwards, and the lady’s father and mother approached me. The mother approached me first but saying, “My daughter has no interest in you, she’s not a lesbian!” I was really taken aback since this had nothing to do with that. Honestly words cannot describe how baffled and disquieted I felt. I tried to ignore them but the wife’s husband cornered me and shoved his finger in my face twice by saying, “You better be glad we’re in a public place.” I told him he was threatening me and I was very uncomfortable. He then proceeded to point his finger in my face again. I stood there frozen, not knowing what to do. I spoke with a man whom I guess was a manger or owner... he basically shoved the issue aside in a roundabout way by mentioning those customers are there every weekend and that if I’m uncomfortable, then leave. I was stunned. How is it ok for a person to threaten someone shoving their finger in your face and yet you are made to feel hopeless and that it’s ok to do those things since they’re regular customers. I really really wanted to look around and see all the neat things in the store. I’ve heard amazing things about the store, even from friends, but sadly I will not return. Once again, I understand that I probably should’ve not asked why someone keeps staring at me but that should not have resulted in being threatened and treated poorly. I will say though, the wife did apologize as did I for speaking out. With that said, I do think the store is very lovely and I wish...

The Sanford Antique Mall, people-friendly, veteran-friendly! I have literally spent 3-4 hours at a time browsing all the wonderful things in this antique “treasure trove” on multiple occasions. I always find something to take home 😉 The staff and vendors never rush me, are always so friendly and constantly check to see if I need help with anything. My husband has also had the same experiences with them as well. I am a disabled vet and just recently had my 11th surgery. I was antsy to get out after not being able to walk for a couple of months. So of course, I hobbled my broken self in a walking boot over to the Sanford Antique Mall. The gentleman and woman up front asked me if I needed help getting upstairs or down. Then the lady stopped me as I was about to slowly make my way down the stairs and asked if I needed anything brought down or had questions about anything upstairs, so as to save me a laborious trip down. Thank you Sanford Antique Mall for being so kind, courteous and flexible with us “semi-abled” vets. 😁

And thank you for enforcing your mask policy! As a mom of a high risk special needs kiddo, I truly appreciate the extra precautions Abe consideration. If I go into a business that is not requiring masks or enforcing their mask policy, I leave. It is a matter of being careful and considerate of others who are high risk. It’s just being decent human beings, in my personal...

If you live in NC and especially the Triangle area you have got to travel to Sanford to experience this antique collectors marquee location. 18,000 sq feet of unique, prized antique collectables under one roof top is simply too good to be true.

Their robust inventory and friendly service will make this trip worth a full or half day experience. My wife and I are new to the warm Sanford community and our house is already being filled with many of these timeless, one of a kind treasures.

Our family visited from Nashville last week and found the most incredible antique display case that they have been searching for years to find. We bring every out of town guest to the Sanford Antique Mall and they all leave astonished by the rare treasures found under one roof.
