Ozark Treasures Antiques & Flea Market — Attraction in Springfield

So....this one's a ♡ breaker....we have literally spent thousands of dollars at this establishment and furnished nearly our entire home with their merchandise. ...we also love all the locally grown produce and pickled everything at the front of the store. We have shopped at this establishment for the duration of our 4 years together as a couple, lovingly dubbing it our "honey hole"... So you can imagine how disappointed we both were when during our last 2 visits, having spent nearly $200 during one trip, $100 on the following, we were stalked, starred down, and followed all through the market by, whom I guessing to be a vendor...she was moving things into a booth when our paths initially crossed. Now, I am fitted with full tattoo sleeves, so a glance or two is something I not only expect, but am not offended by. I do dress very tastefully and always have my hair and make up done in a manner of respectability...Literally the only thing edgy about my appearance is my large collection of tattos including what was visible to her, my sleeves. My boyfriend only has 3 himself, which all his are covered. Now, I understand the generation gap is a very legitimate reason this woman would have to be curious...But curiosity was NOT what took place those two visits. Judgment...Stereotyping...Ignorance...Hate/Disgust/Distrust was all I had the pleasure of experiencing. Quite unfortunate, considering our years of loyalty and adoration for the property as a whole. I will continue to shop at this establishment, but am greatly disappointed in the actions of someone who presented themselves as a representative of the company's...

I couldn't ask for a better location for my first Springfield antique store experience. I didn't know what to expect then but I was delighted and Ozark Treasures continues to delight. I have to try to stay away from here because every time I justify visit I end up staying longer and spending more than I planned to. I never find just one thing, they have a ton of stuff for any taste. They have furniture, tools, American kitsch (love that word!!), There's also a pretty large selection of jellies, sorghum, honey, and other stuff in that category. If you're looking for collectibles it's almost a guarantee that you'll come home with something. I've often found things here that I've been unsuccessful in locating for years. It's not a huge place so if you're pretty thorough, it shouldn't take much more than an hour to see everything. The staff is friendly and accommodating and unlike some places that sell similar items in Springfield, it's not creepy. Old Vendors Mart on the North side (that's not open anymore) used to have some corners that were dark and it felt like somebody might jump out and mug you back in the bowels of this huge building. I used to get creeped out in there especially on weekdays when I was one of two customers that were in the building. Some of the stalls there also used to have stuff that likely came from somebody's garbage can or from a dumpster behind a shopping center, it was literally, a booth full of garbage for sale. Ozark Treasures has nothing of the sort and it's clean and it seems like a lot of the vendors there are pretty knowledgeable about the items...

My kids and I were on the waiting list for two months anticipating the day that we would able to go sell our cool things at Ozarks Treasures for extra money since I'm a struggling single mother of three. We finally got the call and basically scraped up every dime we had which was about $100 just to get it going! I went in the day before we were supposed to move our stuff in and asked the manager (who is also in charge of renting the booths) if I could come in every Sabbath and close off the booth to honor the day that the Lord Said "No buying, No selling"!! Not only did he deny my request, he told me that he couldn't even give us half of our money back!! I'm pretty sure they will be renting my booth to someone else this month and will be getting paid $200 for the month instead of $100, so I don't see what the big deal was! I have Faith and I know we will be blessed and make the extra income we need. As for OZARK TREASURES... Well I'll just let GOD...
