Antiques on the Square - Antiques and Early Collectables — Local services in Marietta

Our family visited the square yesterday just to walk around and see what was there. My 11 year old son loves antique stores and wanted to go in this one because they had records. He asked for a record player for Christmas so has been searching for Beatles records. We have been in several other antique stores but none had the Beatles. We go in and an older man asked if we had masks. I said yes and gave my son one to put on and I said I would wait outside for him. My son wanted to stay because he spotted some Beatles albums. My husband stayed inside with him and had his mask on. The man proceeded to block my son’s path to the records. My husband asked to to please move so my son could see the records. The man stayed blocking his path saying that he wanted to make sure my son had a mask on. My son had his mask on already! Needless to say my husband took my son and left as he felt the employee was intimidating my 11 year old. My son was on the verge of tears after the encounter and having not been able to look at the albums. What a way to treat customers who were complying with what they had been asked to do. We won’t...

I'm giving a review to a place I've never been in, but it may be the most helpful review on this page! I gave it 4 stars only because I was disappointed that they didn't have an online list that I could find. The owner clearly loves vintage technology (as do I).

A look into the windows show the large collection of what appear to be pristine vintage (50's-70's) radios, reel tape decks (from micro to component multi track machines), records, record players, receivers, tuners, amps, typewriters and cameras. His store ( gotta be a guy) looks like my house! It was probably a good thing they were closed, because I have no more room in my house, not even closet space! There are a variety of other antiques as well, but the vintage tech is unique and rarely seen in brick and mortar stores anymore. I'm looking forward to getting into this place someday on my travels. I'll post some photos I took through...

I visit this store at least once a week and I have never had a bad experience. Melissa, her husband, and the folks that work there are kind, helpful, and patient. When I read these reviews today, I could not believe all the garbage these salty shoppers wrote. Don't want to wear a mask? You don't get to come in. "My body my choice?" Give me a break. I would recommend this store and the record store within to anyone. They have an incredible selection of new and used vinyl, true audiophile gear, and antiques from all over the world. Antiques on the Square and Sweet Melissa Records are a local treasure, and anyone who can't see that needs their...
