I’ve shopped here several times and yesterday will likely be my last. There was an older lady who was very pushy in requesting for the item I was holding to be held at the front. It was a medium sized charcuterie board and I had let her know I didn’t mind carrying it while I continued shopping but again she instead gave a pushy attitude that wouldn’t take no for an answer. I found it odd as it was the first time I had ever seen them do this to me or anyone. I would’ve possibly understood if it was a large/heavy/fragile, I can also understand when small shops ask for small items/cased items to be held up. But again this is not a practice that I had seen them do before. When I was in line I saw everyone else including a gentleman holding a large mirror who weren’t given the same treatment as me. When checking out I also realized that the price sticker was taken off. The original price was was only a few dollars above the sale and I ended up being charged the original. Sure it was a few dollars that may seem unnoticeable but it’s about the principle of not only fabrication but also a sense of prejudice. One might ask why not complain. The answer to that is that I had already felt like there was discriminatory practices at play and if I were to complain I would only be perceived as a young, broke, mad, Latina woman. It may not be all employees here but the older white lady working on 23rd should certainly reevaluate how she treats POC. In the meantime I especially do not recommend POC to shop here because we all know that for us things can always turn worse based on the way we respond to this treatment, even if it is just trying to file...
Read moreI am an avid "antiquer," I have been to tons of shops not only all over Texas but in multiple states as well. This is the first time I came into this location, I have been to the one on Houston which is fantastic and I prefer. The staff at this location are very friendly and the store is well maintained. Everything is tidy and the vendors keep stock easy to reach with most items being in plain sight, and pricing visible. The prices will vary by booth, with a few wanting well over market value for their goods and some others sit fair. My only negative is that I wish that there was more inventory to look through. The shop could certainly benefit by having more bone china, dematise spoons and so on. There are a few booths that sale pyrex! Unfortunately a lot of the sets are incomplete, have a lot of wear and tear, or are common pieces. I was able to view every booth in less than an hour, which is why I wish they had a bit more. I was unable to find much of what I typically am searching for when antiquing. I would recommend this location for a day when viewing several stops as for me it was not an afternoon. They have several booths with furniture pieces if that interests you, and a few with vintage or antique toys. In addition they have several...
Read moreThis antique mall was always the first place my wife and I shopped during our monthly antique outings around the area. We have purchased numerous vintage pieces throughout the years from Lewisville Antique Mall, but I’m sad to report that it appears the mall is under new management and a lot of the high end vendors have moved out. We visited this week for the first time this year and I was very excited to see what new items were offered. But to our surprise our visit was a disappointment. I felt like I was in a flea market. Gone was the higher end stores we so desired to visit. And the once proud book section that I have spent many hours browsing while my wife walked the store was in total disarray. Nothing like it once was. I can only wish the owner and vendors good luck but I remarked to my wife more than once as we walked the store, I won’t be back but maybe once or twice a year instead of monthly as was our practice. P.S. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere still was laidback which is...
