If not, you can find them by the registers. They're for tagging larger items you want to buy. You put the sticker on, and take it's product/price tag to the cashier for check-out. -the store is packed with items and people, which makes moving around not so easy. I don't think it's ideal for walkers, wheelchairs, or strollers. If you have mobility challenges, navigating may be tough. -some items don't have a price tag, like the pillow I bought. I asked the cashier how the price is determined, and was advised they assign what they think is a fair price at check-out. My pillow was valued at $4. -i got there at 10:07am, 7 mins after they opened and there were people everywhere. That said, if you're a serious shopper arrive early to see the goods before the super-early birds snatch it all up. -again, it's filled with stuff; mainly furniture, home decor, dinnerware, kitchen goods, some shoes, books, and I even saw cute scarves and bags. It didn't seem like a destination for clothes. Now that I'v summed that up, I do believe it's a nice option for thrifting and would definitely recommend it.

I stopped in to Antiques on Mainstreet to find specific items to use for shelf decorations, like…read moreold books. It's always tough going in to an antique shop with specific needs as you never know what you'll find. Anyway, the store is two levels and set up with individual stalls for each vendor. The basement has a large collection of books but unfortunately they were a bit high for me (although totally fair priced). Good variety of items although it felt like at the moment, they had less decor and more collectibles, broadly speaking. The workers were all nice and offered to let me put my items down while I shopped. Definitely a place to stop by if you're on the hunt for antiques or just enjoy browsing!

Vintage and antique items, Silver purses, silver compacts, gold filled Victorian pins, filled filled sliding chains, tiny medical and advertising tins, really cool antique medical items, microscope, dental and biology slides, antique view finder (I've never seen a stand-up one, just handhelds, so cool!) Tons of tiny snuff/pill boxes and solid perfume compacts, tons! There are a handful of old fisher price toys, Disney items. She brought in super cute Christmas items for the holiday. She has hundreds of old medicine rare vintage advertising tins etc that she rotates in. I'm also told a bunch of vintage Avon items are standing by waiting for room. She just got a ton of vintage gloves from a large estate on lake Minnetonka. All new mostly from Italy and Paris, super petite vintage leather gloves. All reasonably priced for what you find! Same item in the store or across the street priced 3x, and after I got her number she's very easy to work with bundling deals. Updated to say: she just added vintage cabbage patch dolls, new in box, vintage trunks, and a ton of lockets. Swoon!

RUDE STAFF. As I was browsing a booth full of jewelry the seller came over to hover over shoppers…read more I asked her if she could tell me anything about a ring I had. Because she sold jewelry I assumed she might know. Instead of helping me, she YELLED at me and belittled me. She could have politely told me she didn't know or directed me elsewhere but instead she embarrassed me and caused me to leave the store crying, and buying NOTHING. Bad for business. Don't even bother shopping here unless you like getting put down. There are plenty of other good antique stores around the area with friendly staff! Try Pink Elephant!
