I-44 Antique Mall — Local services in Tulsa

Three young ladies stopping by to visit this store when one was stopped and asked to remove her backpack and leave with the front desk with someone she doesn’t know when no signs were displayed to say “no backpacks allowed” is strange but then when that person decides to just leave to follow them out to the parking lot and yell you are not discriminating and to tell that they need to stop feeling sorry for themselves and keep following them when they are trying to leave peacefully is not only disrespectful but ridiculous and not a way to run a business. How would you feel to be treated like this for simply trying to shop with your friends in their twenties. No one was disrespectful to you, no one was rude, no one was loud or harmful but you were and this is unconscionable and not something that anyone should have to go through. Do Better, Be Better,...

My husband and I have been exploring antique shops along I-44 between Oklahoma City and Lebanon, Missouri, and we recently visited this store in Tulsa.

Bigger on the inside than it looks! The interior is clean, bright (plus well-air conditioned) and full of cool stuff from many different dealers. There's a long series of enclosed showcases, full of smaller items, like collectibles, watches and various knick-knacks; a number of divided spaces/booths-- many of which have particular themes or sets of similar items (like Frankoma pottery, old records or vintage toys.) Larger/antique furniture is set up in an open area, and nicely displayed. Definitely worth a stop whenever you're in the area, but need to have enough time for browsing and checking out the antiques-- some of the pieces are especially nice and museum-like. Usually find some great deals on all sort of things nearly every time I'm there. Seems to have an active number of buyers, as the good stuff doesn't stick...
