Country Fair Mall is located in Coal Valley IL. Not too far of a drive from the Quad Cities and…read moreprobably one of the larger antique malls in the area. It's a standard antique mall with rows and rows of vendor booths. Country Fair Mall owns two buildings on the property which are strangely seperated by a second shop (The Cottage Antiques & Co). While The Cottage Antiques & Co is more upscale the two Country Fair Mall buildings are more my style. Most of the booths at Country Fair Mall are pretty plain and some require a little digging and rummaging. That depends on the vendor of course... Same with prices. Some are a little high, some are at market, and there are some great deals to be found too! Depending on the vendor... As far as I can tell there was only one staff member working in each building so if you needed a case opened you might have to wait if there was a line at the register... Both gentlemen were polite and easy to work with. Both my girlfriend and I walked out with purchases. My day was made when I found a Gold Medal dynamite box for under market price. These regularly go for $125+ online and I paid $35 (I think). A heckuva deal... I didn't even have to think twice about it! I collect stuff like that... Things might be a little dusty and more rustic than other shops... We had a great time walking through both buildings and shopping! We were there on the July 4th weekend and they were open on the holiday itself... More than anything else I guess... We were just really grateful they were open and we had something fun to do!

Three buildings and not a single person greeted us as we came into the store. Literally ignored us…read more Dealers were acting as if we were in their way. Selection definitely needs approved. It was getting really boring looking at glasses in vases in every booth.... Customer service 0 Selection in the booths greatly needs improvement from the dealers.

Some antique shop owners act like they don't want anybody around (as you do), but I felt really welcomed. She was very helpful. As far the antiques themselves, there was a lot to chose from and a wide variety. A little bit of something for everybody. Highly recommend!
