The Better Half — Local services in Marquette

I adore antique stores and thrift shops! Shopping in them can be like a treasure hunt, you never know what you'll find! This shop had so much good stuff, I could have spent all day in there and probably still miss something. The woman working that day was very friendly! My only small complaint is the same complaint I have for pretty much every antique shop I go in. There is SO MUCH stuff, some of which should honestly just be thrown away instead of trying to sell it. There is a box of "souvenir advertising pens" in the store basement that is a box full of those pens you can get from stores and businesses for free everywhere. I think it's okay to just toss those. There's a difference between being sentimental / collecting things and just straight up hoarding and never getting rid...

I won't ever go there again. Poor customer service. Was never greeted when I walked into the building, kept getting the feeling that I was an inconvenience and in her way. I didn't bother her at all with questions or comments. I just kept to myself. I was even refused my purchases!!! I was given some strange story about the clerk not believing the pricing that they put on their own products? Was asked if I was from around there? So sad and disappointing, not at all what I was expecting since the store next door...

This is a must stop for me. I could spend all day in this store the antiques are amazing. There is a lot to choose from so I always always find something. Every time we are in the area, I stop. (I'd be in trouble if I had a truck ) This store definitely has something for everyone. The customer service is excellent. They always ask where I'm from if I'm on vacation and even what I may be looking for. A defiance...
