Milltown Market - Wilmington, Illinois — Local services in Wilmington

If your considering putting some of your items on consignment: SELLERS BEWARE OF BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE. They basically opened a consignment account for us, took our items, sold them, then said they had no idea what happened to them. They walked around the store stating they must be lost or possibly threw them out refusing to pay us for the items left with them on consignment. When I explained, that was basically stealing our money, the rude grandaughter raised her voice and started yelling at us. Now I know why the previous owner didn't particularly care for her as well and was just trying as he said to keep peace in the family and pacify his wife when it came to dealing with her. One of the employees actually pulled up a data sheet showing the items were sold but they still acted like they had no idea where the items went and refused to pay us. The previous owner Gary, was a great guy and would turn over in his grave if he only knew what was going on over there. We gave them alot of business but never again will I set foot in that shop. It's disgraceful how they treated a longtime customer who has spent quite a bit of money there. Keep it up Milltown, the new and improved way of running your shop since Gary passed away and you will run yourself right out of business. I have worked with the public for 37 yrs and there is no excuse to treat good longtime customers so rudely as you have treated us. Hey grandma, send your rude granddaughter back to school to learn about business practice and how to treat customers before you employ her to drive away your...

You know, I think this is my favorite stop in Wilmington. No necessarily because it has the best antiques, but they have a nice variety of collectibles, odds and ends ,and some decent antiques too. They keep the building nice and cool in the summer. So we don't mine spending and hour or more picking through some treasures. It seems we always find 2 or 3 objects each time we stop. And we can still find some good prices here. Of course it depends which booth you look at. The interior is an old lumber barn, and they managed to keep all the old rafters intact. So, I like to look at the old building too. Check it out if you drive...

Shop here a lot and was so glad they survived the pandemic. Employees were kind but the owner was very crotchety. We had a party of 4 of us and had been shopping for 45 minutes, when he approached us without a mask and demanded us to have a mask. He and his employees had NO mask but he was demanding we put one on! We ended up leaving the store. He wouldn’t let us shop even though he wasn’t following his own rules. I love the Wilmington shops and always shop local! I wish his people who sell in his building knew what...
