DO NOT PARK IN THEIR LOT! You will be TOWED! My mother and I visited here all the time! We’ve gotten many festive items for many holidays and odd things around the house here but never again, I parked my car in their lot because I thought it was a safe place while I did some shopping down the strip, definitely wrong, I was gone for a little over 30 minutes when I came back my car was gone, I went into the shop to talk with the workers to find out what happened that my and the staff was quite rude about it. A younger lady with black rimmed glasses very loudly shouted at me, even if I was to shop in here first and then go somewhere else, they’d still tow me. Don’t waist your money here, there are better shops close by that actually have genuine antiques! Towing one of your guest is probably one of the rudest things, even if someone hasn’t been to your establishment and parks in your lot, that’s good for your business, looks busy and I guarantee you if one of the people that park there don’t go in they sure will tell someone about your business. Sadly today you surely lost mine and my boyfriend’s families...

I recently had the most awful experience with one of the vendors that has a booth that this antique mall. Her name is Cindy, I purchased four chairs for 800. She assured me that there are no issues with the chairs. I asked multiple times is everything OK before I send my girlfriend over to pick them up. I took her word that the product would be fine and it wasn’t. At the end, I just asked her to make it right and let me swap out the Chairs that had issues she refused. We also spent about 5 to 6 hours driving each way to make this right and still no solution. There were multiple chairs that she could’ve exchanged for me and she decided not to. She decided to be very difficult and her husband was extremely rude as well. I would be very cautious of anything you purchase from this dealer. She also sells on Facebook marketplace I would advise to stay away from anything she is selling and if you decide to purchase something, do not take her word make sure you investigate everything thoroughly....

The Vintage Marketplace is so much larger inside than it looks from the outside! There’s 2 levels of different vendor booths- the booths are large and spacious with plenty of room to walk and explore inside each booth.

As with all “antique” shops, I prefer when everything is truly antique. Several vendors here have purchased new items and are selling them: pins from your favorite shows like Friends, cheap jewelry from overseas and candles with kitschy sayings. That’s always such a turn off for me.

The actual vintage pieces are very cool- I walked with several jewelry scores!

The owner was at the front while I was checking out when I asked for a deal on 2 of the most expensive pieces in my pile. He basically responded “no” with no further explanation. I wished there was a bit of wiggle room after spending quite a...
