I have found many great items at this store, but every time I go I am shocked at the loud Christian music I am forced to listen to. At times I have even considered ear plugs while shopping here. The lack of Covid-19 precautions is also off-putting. Many employees without masks or social distancing. The response to my review from the owner is even better than my honest review. At no time did I discriminate based off Christian music. I am not religious and have the freedom from religious persecution just as those who believe do, so loudly forcing customers to listen to your beliefs via the loud speakers playing loud Christian music is what I referenced.

Read moreAmerican Mercantile is fun, eclectic and enjoyable. The owners are positive people who also say-it-like-it-is. We are living in strange times and this place feels like a reprieve.

Read moreThe stars are for the merchandise only. This store loses 2 stars because: The staff and many of the patrons ignore the covid mask mandate. I really "liked" -past tense, liked the shop, and,-the layout of the shop, and the selection of new and vintage items. I have spent over $1,200.00 here this past year. NEVER AGAIN! I will not give my money over to a collective of people who defiantly ignore the mask mandate. I have brought this issue up several times. This shop doesn't care about covid. And they have no reasonable excuse for not wearing a mask, or enforcing the mask mandate.. I believe that adhering to the mask mandate is crucial for our country to beat covid. This shop has no respect for patrons that want the mask mandate enforced. This is not a joke people! You will never get my...
