Hewitt's Antiques — Local services in Wichita

Just left this place and as we were walking through and were looking at items, a older gentlemen came up to us and said "Those items aren't for sale", (mind you there is no rope blocking this area nor is there a "do not touch" sign)so we said okay. And kept looking. Instead of asking us nicely to please not touch the items, he repeatedly really loudly "Ma'am those items are not for sale! Please get away from it!" loudly and rudely. This may not seem like the worst thing to say but the aggressiveness and tone was super inappropriate. I said back to him, we didnt realize that's what he was asking and he said "well I thought I already had" and walked away. So yeah definitely not going back and definitely not recommending this place to anyone. We love local and we love antiques, but we also love supporting places that dont allow that kind of terrible personal relations. I'm a server so I get how it is dealing with the general public, but there's a wrong and right way to do it.

Ps. The contents of the antique store were really cool and we had fun while we could. The only complaint was how this...

The two men that work here often make me and my girlfriend uneasy. We have shopped here several times and always leave with something we've purchased. They have a few art deco booths we really enjoy. But the men working often follow us around making it seem like they are constantly watching our every move. Not only that, but when we go to check out they always seem rude and upset by our presence even though we are providing them with gratitude and kindness. I'm not sure if it has to do with race or just being a younger generation that enjoys antiques, but walking around an antique mall and constantly feeling like someone is watching over your shoulder is not only rude...

A hidden gem in Wichita — I’m already planning my return!

Hewitt’s Antiques is a fantastic spot for anyone who appreciates unique and well-curated treasures. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, and it’s clear they put a lot of care into the collection.

The shop is filled with beautiful, interesting pieces — many with local history — and the furniture selection especially stood out. There were several well-priced items I absolutely plan to come back for (and probably won’t stop thinking about until I do).

Whether you’re a serious collector or just love discovering cool old things, this place is well worth a visit. Can’t wait to return soon...
