Wally's Treasure Mall is an excellent stop for those who like to browse for used and vintage items. The store is much larger than it appears from the street and has a wide variety of vendors with items for all tastes. I enjoy vintage items of local interest, but there are several vendors with jewelry (both new and used), clothing, books, china, coins, currency, toys, and lots more. My wife even found a replacement for a damaged ornament from a set that she purchased 30 years ago. There are lots of locked cabinets, but there are always staff nearby to help with viewing an item. I have also had nothing but positive experiences with the staff.
The only cautions that I have are for those who have mobility issues. The store has two main levels with stairs in the back and front. There are also level changes on the floors that may be difficult for some persons to navigate. However, unlike many such stores, Wally's has fairly clear paths between vendors, which makes browsing easier and less perilous for most persons.
There is limited parking, and the store is located on a busy stretch of 28th Street. These may be issues for some persons.
Overall, I highly recommend Wally's Treasure Mall for those who enjoy hunting for that unique or vintage item. It is well worth setting aside an hour or two...
Read moreSo irritates my soul when I write a good review about a place as nice as this one is. An a few days later I don't see it posted. So let's try again, Shall we. so after seeing this several times on FB, I decided to go check it out for myself. Thinking it would be so many other places, I was suprised. I found things I had forgotten about from my early childhood, and probably the teen years of my now deceased grandparents as well. What was really nice is how it was all laid out and displayed. The lighting was good, like i was walking into store, and items where brand new. Passing by the cashier on way in a didn't get far, before I was greeted by a lady named "Mary", who wasn't push but instead polite, as well as informative as to the stores lay out. The building holds so much, there was one thing as a kid I always wanted. So when I seen it I couldn't believe it, I still am not sure how I walked away from it with just a cell phone picture. Bet I am thinking next time I go its mine. Anyways, Whether your looking for that something special of old, or a new piece for home decor. Come check them out. 28th Street location in my opinion is better all around then Clyde Park. So here is a few of my Cell...
Read moreA surprising find for me and my wife, this antique mall on 28th Street was well worth the time we spent strolling down the aisles, looking for that perfect object. There are over 150 vendor booths and they have everything an aficionado of all things old and cool could ask for. With three floors, there is no end to the treasure hunting.
In fact, there is so many treasures, it is challenging to see all there is in one look. I was able to add to my collection of classic Coke glasses, finding one in cobalt blue. My wife found a ceramic lighthouse cookie jar for our beach house that came with a matching votive holder and salt and pepper shakers. And we barely broke a $20 bill!
There are employees roaming around who are happy to answer questions, unlock a cabinet, or take your purchases to the checkout counter while you continue shopping.
One thing both of us really appreciated was their adherence to Covid19 protocols. Masks required and hand sanitizer easily available. Floors are clearly marked for traffic flow to reduce bottlenecks, and social distancing is practiced.
So if you like to find unique antiques or classic old objects, do yourself a favor and check these...
