Since I hadn't been there he graciously told us the lay of the land. I really enjoyed looking through the market. As with any antique mall there are vendor booths that are well priced and then insanely expensive. There is a lot to see for sure. One main drawback is this is a "CASH ONLY" business. If you read my reviews you know I hate cash only businesses. Luckily I had plenty of cash- as it turns out I ended up not purchasing anything. I was tempted to purchase a few items but did not. I highly recommend visiting- I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. They have a little snack stand and a nice. Lean restroom to make your shopping spree comfortable. I did not eat here but I thought that was great! I was tempted by the enormous Valentines cards for 1$- but there were no envelopes. There was a cute seasonal booth where everything was a dollar and some booths had decent sales.

I discovered the Opp shop while doing a thrift google search of the area. Little did I know it was…read moreliterally right down the street from a Goodwill I've been to twice. How convenient! It's located in a deserted, large shopping complex with the anchor store vacant. The lot is expansive and this store is on the end next to the large vacant property. For that reason I would be leery of going at night alone. Otherwise approaching I could see it was a store with a substantial amount of real estate. Furniture pieces were visible thru the window. I couldn't wait to get inside to explore. Is it the cleanest, most organized store? You can literally see dust balls float across the floor. No...but its full of vintage items as well as pickers. How do I know? You can witness them on the sales floor doing pricing research on their phones while holding tight to an item. I would guess that the majority of the customers were resellers. For that reason, if you see something you like, whether you think it's valuable or just valuable to you grab it. Take a look at that complete set of vintage mushroom canisters I came across. I know they are a highly desirable collectable. I left them for someone else to discover and enjoy. What I would consider highlights for this store is the furniture pieces. Large, small, new and old, like antique old (see pic). The large solid wood wall unit was complete with shelving and lighting and priced at only $299. I'm sure it was a few thousand new. If you dabble in decorative painting and furniture upcycling like I do you'll want to add this store to your thrifting stops. Housewares and decorative items were plenty and arranged better than some departments. I scored some great pieces in this dept that have been on my "thrift wish list "for some time. Toys, crafts, and misc were a huge mess, with piles on the shelves and on the floor without any consideration to order. Prices are very affordable, only a step above yard sale for most items. Linens were stocked well and included a lot of vintage and handmade pieces like crocheted afghans. Clothing was a miss for me. Although I did see they have dressing room the department was so full and clustered together I didn't feel like routing. Shoes I felt were priced high, one price depending on item (see pic) without consideration to brand or condition. DVD's were labeled as half off, but I didn't see a price for comparison. The book department was large and popular. On the day I was there they were constantly adding new items, including furniture pieces, and the pickers were standing ready. This store is part of the Opportunity House, a non profit that offers social services to disadvantaged families, a mission I truly support. The employees were all nice, especially the young man at the register, who provided me with a loyalty card - get it hole punched for each purchase. So while this might not be the best looking or best kept store, it's a great place to hunt for vintage and current items on the cheap.

The lady started screaming at me, told me to go to the car and come back with my money, and said she had surgery yesterday, was sick of people breaking things, and I could get my "ass" out of her store. I saw a backpack sitting on a chair and inquired. Another lady appeared and said a lady sat it there to shop. I wasn't given that option. No reason for the way she acted. She lost business, and I will not go back to a place with a crazy woman like that

I purchased some plants and a watering can, some for myself and some for my mom for Mother's Day. I was beyond satisfied with my shopping experience and how smooth it was to just pick everything up from the back porch of the shop. The plants were stunning and very well taken care of, and the watering can was beyond adorable! The owner was more than accommodating with letting me know what items were available and keeping me updated with the status of my order. By the time I picked everything up, all of my items were neatly and securely packaged, waiting for me exactly where I expected them to be. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with this shop and am so happy to be able to support a small business during this time. Cannot wait to go back and check out the store!

I left with a 90s vintage tee for $18. It might sound wild, but that's on the cheaper side for "vintage." I'd expect to pay $10 more for the same vintage shirt in Philly. Yes, even one from the 90s. The staff were also very helpful. I can't wait to go back when we're in Lancaster.

Contrary to reviews, I found the shop's personnel to be friendly and accommodating. Prices -- set by individual booth-owners -- are sometimes better than competitive. Likely due to their semi-rural location, merchandise is different - more interesting - than the urban antique malls I'm familiar with. I have a number of collections. Since I've downsized, I don't actively look to buy. BUT, if I find a deal, I take it. See the Roseville pottery I posted? The piece is pretty big, in perfect condition. I paid $44, including tax. (Elsewhere it would go for well over $100.) The last full week of most months, dealers throughout town host "Extravaganzas" with deals galore ... or so they say! I'll let you know, when I return in the spring.
