Countryside Collectibles Mall — Local services in Siler City

Awesome place. Always treasure hidden around. Love and appreciate the refrigerator that's been added to help address the needy or homeless food situation. That act alone can help many families make it thru a night of not having dinner or supplement for a couple days of tight on money or products to get by on. Next level cuisine it seems from a real chef and restaurant.

What's not good: the fact that like a lot of opportunities in life, with the good comes the bad, ugly and unappreciative and uncaring. The people who show up with empty grocery bags to fill them to the brim with any and everything available. Not a care for the next person or family that could use just one or three of the 9 or 12+ meal containers they have shoved in the bags. Huge family? Maybe.... But to see(witnessed this-multiple times)an able bodied individual, business owner/partner/ making a nice income with multiple roofs over their head ride up on a bike they're out exercising on and stop by to do just as I mentioned above...is disgusting and disrespectful to the entire community. Greedy, in every sense of the word and the other ones listed. Outright shame that because the sign says free, nevermind the context, it's without a care that they shovel and carry off most of the items that could help out the local homeless or those struggling. They then carry it back to their lair and then toss multiple right into a dumpster before going inside. I guess the description of the item wasn't what they had thought or then realized they didn't want it!? Mind blowing way of thinking. If a business owner is willing to abuse this simple system, one can only imagine what else ... Little venting, yes..but that's some food...

This used to be a great place to go and get some good vintage items. Now it is a glorified flea market with new stuff and junk. There are a handful of vendors who still sell decent vintage items at a fair retail price, but probably not more than 5 or 6 - everything else is WAY overpriced (and I have to admit I am surprised that those good vendors are sticking it out at this mall). Really not worth a trip unless you want an indoor flea market experience. If you want good vintage/antiques in the nearby area, there are fortunately still some good antique stores in Pittsboro, Ramseur...

This used to be one of my very favorite places to find unique antiques and collectibles. I always found something old, something to repurpose, some treasure. The vendors have changed a lot since Covid. So, so many booths of new and used clothing, new trinkets, etc. I think they outnumber the “collectibles” booths. I drive all over the state looking for these kind of vendor malls and this one has changed the most over the last several years. Please bring back vendors with true collectibles, vintage, antique-y items! People working have always been super friendly and love the...
