Antiques at the Loop, Inc. — Local services in Mobile

My experience at Antiques At The Loop was awful from the moment I walked into the door until the moment I exited. Of the five, or so retail associates hanging out at the counter, none could be bothered to greet myself, or my husband as we entered the store. While their merchandise is lovely, their prices tend to be on the higher side; some items appropriately priced, while other severely marked up. I found myself absolutely in love with a booth from a part time Mobile/part time Chicago resident. Her style a mix of Hollywood Regency, Deco, tropical, and glam. On my way out of the store I politely inquired with the woman at the front desk if the person who ran that lovely booth had a business card, or an Instagram page, so that I could keep up with the booth (I am a New Orleans native). From the second I began to interact with this woman, to the moment we parted ways she was horribly rude. She treated me like some hum-scrum pauper off the street. She even walked away from me while I was speaking to her. I mentioned to her that she ought to tell the person running the booth that an out-of-town-er was interested in keeping up with her booth and merchandise. The retail associate could not care less.

I have worked in many a high end boutique. Including one specializing is Parisian and European Antiques. I have worked in high end retail from New Orleans to Asheville. This woman working at this store is one of the most unprofessional, profiling, rude retail associates I have ever come into contact with.

I have many friends and family in Mobile, and I will be sure to let them know to not frequent this establishment. I was on the brink of spending upwards of three hundred dollars at this establishment, and due to this interaction decided to leave.

Shame on Antiques...

I wish I could rate this store with less than one star, but unfortunately, the system doesn’t allow it. My wife and I had a truly awful experience at this consignment store, and this was actually our second disappointing visit.

We arrived at 4:45 PM, and my wife quickly selected a blouse. By 4:53 PM, we were at the counter ready to pay, only to be told that the store had already closed. I pointed out that the store’s posted closing time is 5:00 PM, after a short argument they reluctantly processed our purchase and treated us with utter disrespect, even going so far as to throw my business card back at me.

The employees’ attitude was rude and...

The inventory is a nice mix of reproductions and actual, fine antiques. Don’t expect any offer of help, in this massive store. Most larger places such as this have floor reps but not here. I’ve been in pain from trying to manage a 75lb planter. Also asking questions is met with a frown, and then completely ignored. We may return because of the uniqueness of the inventory, but it won’t be my first choice for...
