Heritage Mill Antiques and Designer Mall — Local services in Ranlo

This store is truly wonderful. We went in today to search for some antiques and let our daughters spend their allowance on some treasures. Our eldest did not make a purchase. A few stores later, she was remorseful that she hadn't bought a cute little patchwork bear and was so sad about it. I went back to surprise her and the kindest woman (didn't catch her name, though I wish I had asked!) remembered that we had been in earlier and was so thoughtful, even taking the time to make an adorable little nametag for the bear with the name my daughter had mentioned she wanted to name the bear had she bought it. Gastonia is full of antique stores and we frequent them all, but this is the kindness and above-and-beyond customer service that makes one truly stand out! Heritage Mill will have our steady business in the future as we will never forget being treated so kindly. This shop deserves your patronage,...

I spent $75 in the store only because I can swallow my pride and still make a purchase. The kids put their items back. I believe they could sense that they weren't wanted in the store. A loss for them. Even kids have a say and funds 🤷. Skip this place if you have...

Being greeted upon entering is fine. Grilling me about what I'm looking for is being rather too inquisitive. Just leave me alone to browse and I'll let you know if I'm looking for something in particular. This place has more garage sale and thrift store items than actual antiques. I've never purchased anything here, and the few pieces I did look at were marked "Not for sale."

I doubt I get bored enough to waste my time with this...
