Horrible mean owner/manager at front desk! I was really upset because of his rude and hurtful behavior! I was talking to the lady and let her know how much I was enjoying my last purchase. Then, I went to look at an expensive Dept 56 house, ($69) Big Ben..which I carefully opened and lifted foam top off. (Normally I would slide the whole thing out to make sure not broken, but it looked good, and then the man creeped up behind me, and said.."can I help you? Normally items are brought up front, and a couple more implications, made me feel like a criminal, like in a past review. Then my daughter let me know, that she just heard him tell the wife, that I could be stealing stuff!!? Which normally I would just put back on principal..but I walked it up, and told him my daughter heard his stealing comments and he shrugged and didn't apologize!?! I was told that whether I buy it or not he didn't care! The lady was listening the whole time, and didn't stop him or apologize either. I told them there is no sign posted at the vender to bring it up? I have every right to look over and item when purchasing it, thank you very much! So, after no apology, I put it back! I was doing the Girls Night Out, with my daughter, and it wrecked the rest of our night! If they want people to have fun and spend money they should start there..because we'll never go back to...

My hubby and I absolutely adore this antique store! We love that there's an array of items since each booth is a different vender (well I'm sure maybe the same vendors have more than 1 booth, but you get what I mean). Like with most antique malls you will have vendors that sometimes price things too high, but we foe the most part generally don't find that to be the case with this place :). We collect a few different things, but our absolute favorite is carnival glass. When we go here we have the intention of buying 1-2 items, but almost every time we buy at least 4+ items, and the last time we bought 9 items! We try and go every couple months and there is always new stock every time we go. Sure, there are things that are there that have been there each time we go, but that is pretty common with antique stores. But what isn't generally common is noticing a lot of new stuff everytime you go, and with this place it is. It is also bigger inside than it looks on the outside. The staff is always very nice. Quite a few times there's this older gentleman working and he is wonderful. I definitely recommend you check...

I had a wonderful time exploring this antique mall!!! There are so many beautiful and unique things to see here!!! I found a stunning Sterling Silver bracelet made out of happy elephants strung together and a unicorn necklace. My husband found a cast iron pan and beautiful mechanical clocks to enjoy and/or refurbish. The employee that helped us get our items from the cases and bagged them up for us was very helpful and friendly, but extremely annoying with the puns they chose to use, especially the ones directed at my husband. It wasn't rude, just uncomfortable for me. This was our second trip back to this antique mall and I can't wait until we get...
