You know that feeling when you could swear you already wrote a review for a place, only to realize you never actually did? That was me recently with Old Time Pottery. I could have sworn I had already shared the gem that is this amazing store. I've been coming here for years to find inexpensive yard and holiday decorations, home décor, and all those little things that can make a house feel more like home. Old Time Pottery was founded in 1986 by Jack Peterson in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The store originally focused on pottery, but eventually expanded its selection to include a wide variety of home décor, furniture, and other merchandise. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and again in 2020. In April 2023, Old Time Pottery was acquired by Gabe's, an off-price retailer headquartered in Morgantown, West Virginia. The acquisition included 30 Old Time Pottery stores across 11 states. The merger expanded the selection available to shoppers, and today the combined company operates more than 166 Gabe's and Old Time Pottery locations across 20 states. If you're planning to shop at Old Time Pottery, bring your comfy walking shoes because this place is HUGE! There is so much to look through, from seasonal and holiday décor to home goods, furniture, linens, florals, pet items, clothing, accessories, and plenty more. It's the kind of store where you can go in looking for one thing and easily leave with several others you didn't know you needed. On my latest visit, I was shopping for a few finishing touches for a bathroom remodel. One of the things I love about Old Time Pottery is that the prices are already affordable, and many items have additional discounts. There's also a clearance section in the back that is worth checking out. No matter what your decorating style or budget they have something for you here. I always enjoy browsing because you never know what you're going to discover. And if you work up an appetite while shopping and need a snack afterward, there's a Krispy Kreme in the same plaza. You're welcome. read more

Came to this store since I was wasting time to check in to my hotel. Never been to an Old Time Pottery. As in my state we call it Gabe's. I must say, the Gabe's in York,Pa is much more organized than this store. The sizes were everywhere, they had men's , ladies then men's and ladies again. I got a pair of shorts and left. The store was clean and the value is very good. read more

One of my favorite places for discounted housewares. They have a little bit of everything at good prices. The caveats are limited selection, and service can be slow. But if you're looking for cheaper, basic housewares or holiday decor, it's a good option. read more

Came out to do some holiday shopping for decorations. My first thought was that they needed shopping carts. Not one to be had as the store clerk stated they were all in use. I didn't see, but maybe 10 ppl with them. For the size of the store, you would think they'd want customers to all have carts to fill! Not a very clean and friendly store either. The cashiers look worn out and hating their jobs, and God forbid you ask them a question. This store just wasn't for me, but who knows most may like it. For me it's not a must go to store. Happy Holiday shopping...just not here. Lol read more

Great selection of pottery! Pleasantly surprised with a very large assortment of kitchen gadgets and items for your kitchen needs. Meandering throughout the store- a fun way to collection things you intended to purchase and more. *shopping carts are a commodity here, so if you see one in the parking lot, grab it going into the store. read more

Definitely a favorite place of mine. Old time pottery is absolutely a one stop shop. Whether your moving and need new items or just daily household items this store has it all. Fair warning this place is HUGE. There has to be over 40 isles of all type of items. If your anything like me who loves to look on all the isles and pick up none needed items this is heaven lol. But if you have an exact idea of what you're interested in or looking for signage and visuals are very easy and can help you navigate. Pricing here is pretty fair I have caught some super great deals here. Some items are just your normally priced items. Things here can range from outdoor furniture to indoor furniture. Bed sets ,glassware, cookware, wall art, games, literally everything you can think of. With such a large place the staff still remains really nice and helpful. Whenever I have questions or need any assistance with larger items someone is able to help without hesitation. Old time pottery has a newsletter you can sign up for which send emails regarding sales and etc. Definitely if your in the area and find yourself in need of anything similar to what I mentioned surely give them a try. Deals are definitely there with great quality and richness looks. I have purchased tons of items prior. With this visit I went in looking for party glass where and found a ton of nice yet super affordable plates, drinkware, and serving utensils. read more

Okay so I am a fan of this store . I Went in to buy some more pots for my home since I'm transforming it into a good oxygen place .Plants clean the air in the home . I would start with a snake plant, doesn't need much light or water virtually impossible to kill. So I bought many things but one of them was 75 percent off and I was charged full price . This ticked me off . I marched back into the store only to realise I left my keys in the car and it was locked all right . The spare key of course was lost too . So double whammy for the night . I think I have to pour me a vodka and do some screaming . Lucky for me I did get my twenty dollars over charged, so watch your prices when you shop here . Of course all the people that work here are super nice and fixed the problem . I do recommend this place for all kinds of homeware . Parking is ample and Publix is near by . This store is right off the turnpike . read more

I'm compelled to write this while I'm still in the store. Where has Old Time Pottery been all my life? This place is more of a warehouse type of home goods store. It's a mix of home goods, Ross, Hobby Libby at Walmart prices. They had everything you would need to officially be the hostess with the mostest. I came in here looking for a particular mirror but it was not in stock. I took the time to look through absolutely everything. Rugs, lanterns, silverware, all kind of Decor under the sun. Come with patience. Definitely a lot to take in. They are not located everywhere so trust me when I say it's worth the drive for all you Martha Stewart's at heart. They have a loyalty programs. Sign up for emails, they will alert you when they have discounts in certain items. Waiting for the 30% off of mirrors to pop in my inbox. read more

Love this place! Quality isn't great, about the same as Marshall's or something. But it's got everything for decor at a very reasonable price. It's like a warehouse and has a smell that I can't identify. But, i was able to get the gardening tools and planters that I needed. Also, they have a lot of organizers at a super reasonable price. read more

Old Time Pottery should be your first stop when needing to find home decor, linens, outdoor furniture, or well pretty much anything! Why stop here first? The prices are affordable. It does have a warehouse feel, and sure, some items are not the quality you may want, but start here before you go to a higher priced store. The store is large, and can be overwhelming, so take your time, bring your coffee, and peruse the multitude of aisles and crowded, but organized shelves. Need items for the upcoming holiday? they have it! Need items to decorate an event? They have it! I found a ton of cute coastal decor on my last visit. *OTP is located in a great shopping center that includes a Marshall's, Publix, quite a few smaller stores, and Krispy Kreme! read more

The best place for all things home decor! I have shopped at OTP for many years. Every time I go to a new place, I always look to see where the neared one is. So many great things for your home. And the prices are fabulous!!!! I love Old Time Pottery!!!! read more

UPDATE: District manager went out of his way to meet with me and bring me a new set of dishes from Stuart. He made me feel better about the experience, and that the store has some work to be done. I'll revisit in a few months for some additional shopping and give it another shot. Thanks for the help! ||| Lots of empty shelves, dust literally everywhere and on everything. We were the only ones in the store the whole hour we were there and the one dude outside was just giving us a weird stare as we were going in. Spent $100 on two sets of dishes just to find two broken bowls and a missing plate, but I'm in the middle of moving and don't have time to come return the dishes, plus I just don't want to go back. Before loading the stuff in the car I had to dust the boxes off because they were disgusting. I even bought a vase to find the wooden bits are peeling off. Everything is overpriced for the clearly terrible quality they are. This place was recommended to me, apparently it used to be very popular. Clearly it's going downhill. I'm never coming back here. read more

This place is HUGE, I didn't know where to look first. They do have the warehouse feel like IKEA, but definitely not as nice. Everything is divided by sections which is good, but I find that they have too much variety of the same things (I.e way too many round mirrors, or way to many white dishes) I know this is a plus for many people but I find it a bit overwhelming. Why is a round plate $8.99 as opposed as this other same round plate $3.99 when the size and quality seem to be the same? This is where I get confused and don't know if I'm choosing the right product. Staff wise, I hardly saw anyone on the floor, and believe you me when I say this place is HUGE (yeah it deserves the CAPS) so there is no one you can ask question. I just saw one associate on the floor. The bulk of the staff in at front. Some items are a great value, while others seems a bit expensive. Nothing screamed great quality to me, so I don't know why the price inconsistency. I did get many serving dishes in pure white as I was looking for. The decor items look cheap, or inferior in quality, or maybe it was the way they were displayed. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't buy my decor here. Great for housewares, not decor. I would be back if I need more glasses and dishes. They are located right on the corner of 441 and Commercial next to a Publix, and the parking lot it's CRAZY! Stop signs every 10 feet, which drove me crazy! It took me 10 minutes just to get out of the parking lot. read more

Service was horrible. Walked in to look around first time ever and was given dirty looks by one of the cashiers. Ask if we were "going to buy something because you keep looking at me". Rude ass people. read more

Big store.Big parking lot.Red sale tags works!.Manager and employees pro.Big parking lot.

Super fun store if you are purchasing your first home and need ideas! Items are discounted right now 10 to 30 percent off.

This place has everything under the sun. The staff is nice, cashiers, Associates, somethings are a little damaged, but the managers on call are always ready, and willing to help... The floral dept. is HUGE, and soooo well arranged, nicely maintained... The gentleman (Daniel was his name) that helped me the day I went in was amazing, he was busy organizing the rugs, but didn't hesitate for a minute to stop what he was doing to help my wife and myself in the mirror section, then helped us with the rug we purchased. Not only did he talk to us about what rug would be a good choice, but when we finally Decided on one, he carried it to the front, and then to our car. This is the type of service all storeshould give, great job O.T.P.... read more

Walk in for one thing, walk out with 20 Pinterest ideas. Tons of things to choose from and everything is priced so low it makes it hard not to fill up your cart. Love the amount of inventory they have and there's nothing that you can't find. When you stop in, make sure you have plenty of time to browse the store. It's ammmaaazinggggg read more

"This place sucks" - George Please remember I am a Man I can see why this place would be appealing to the soft shouldered out there but not this guy The first tghing that I didn't like was that it's not shaped or housed like a barn I was really dead set on this place having an olde country feeling and a barn would have set the mood to just right The sucktitude continued as soon as I walked through the door and none of the carts worked None Ended up buying a .99cent framed art just so I can have it smashed over my head read more

Holy mole! I was not prepared to enter into this sea of everything! I must say that after about 15 min I was a bit overwhelmed. I decided to come back another day not because I did not like it but because I was tired. So be prepared to have patience and spend some time here. This store has rolls and rolls of about everything you can think of for your home decor. From dining, bedroom, garden, bathroom, accessories, kitchen and more. They had a really big and I mean really big supply of Christmas Decorations. I'm sure they change which each season as my first time here is early November. A must go to place to find what you didn't know you needed. I scored this first time around with children's books for my grandbabies. Next time who knows. I might be scary. Ps most of my time there I helped a man pick out bedroom stuff. He chased me around the store seeking my interior design skill. Lol I think I just found my next calling. So yes I recommend this store. read more

I love love OTP, it's My favorite store to decorate my house! So many items and very affordable!

So you're a collector. Maybe you like to really jazz up theme parties and dinners with just the right matching plates and holiday décor. Or maybe you just like junk - sorry, one man's treasure as it were... Boy oh boy is OTP the place for you!! No, not place - it's a frigging PALACE of goodies galore! Indoor/outdoor furniture (emphasis on accessories so just about every kind of outdoor pillow for the patio you can imagine, plus the gnomes, angels and Catholic statuary. Candles, candle holders, sconces, wall art, pictures, posters, oh my. Even bedding, bathroom needs, holiday items (I went there the day before Valentine's Day so while everything pink and red was within reach, it was already rapidly being turned over for the bunnies and pastels of Easter). It's a bit of a haul to travel out to Tamarac to tackle this unique store (that has to positively have a gift for everyone and anyone on your list), but when you do go - take the U-Haul because there's just so much you will want to buy!! read more

This store has a variety of items ranging from fake flowers to carpeting to dishes and cookware. It's a fun place to go and just explore, however you definitely have to be careful when buying stuff because a lot of stuff is either broken or pretty banged up. I like going in and looking for interesting decorative items for the house. They also have some neat items to use for crafts. Prices are either really good for stuff or overpriced so you definitely need to be careful. I like going here just to explore and would recommend it as a place to check if you're in need of just that little touch of something crafty. read more

WOW what happened to this place? If you look at pictures from former reviews the place looks nice neat and organized. Now it looks like a terrible flea market that is on the way to closure. I understand that the current situation and times are different but seriously. Do you stop taking a shower because of the pandemic. In this place obviously everybody stoped carding about anything and everything a long time a go. It's amazing how a place can go from one side of the spectrum to the other side without any interference, concern from anybody. Obviously nobody is considering the time and energy it takes to bring a place back to it former glory. Again don't listen to me just look at the pictures picks of former reviews. read more

An interesting place to look for whatever you can't find anywhere else. There is a lot of stuff in this store from cookware to patio furniture to pet supplies. Some of the values are pretty good, but you have to look carefully. There are a lot of pieces that are chipped, scuffed or lopsided. So before you buy a table from one of the shelves, set it on the floor and make sure it doesn't wobble. We tried six different tables of the same style and only found two that sat flat. The store could also use some cleaning up and organizing. read more

The last time I was in here, the staff treat my wife and I like crap. I vowed I would never step foot in that place again. My wife wanted to give them one more shot. We were looking for a bath mat and tablecloth for the dining room. Though we didn't find one my wife liked, she saw a red coffee maker to go with our red toaster. They were also running 25% off. They had a display one but no other. I found a clerk who was helpful to find me the price. I did ask since it was display could they do better. She brought the manager Kaylia over. She was so nice. She said normally price is price but I'll give u an additional 10% off. I was very appreciative. So when I went to check out, she was on the register. Every customer she was pleasant to. She never stopped smiling. What a pleasure. Now I'll come back read more

Old Time Pottery is a combination of a craft store, homegoods, dollar store, and Big Lots. It has craft supplies, stuff to decorate your home, holiday decor (lots of Christmas stuff already out), trinkets, gifts, frames, pics, mirrors, and kitchen cookware and small appliances. I needed to kill some time and this was the perfect place. I walked through all the aisles and picked up a few things. The store is huge so an hour easily flew by. Some prices are good and others are high- just need to be a smart consumer! read more

THIS. This is the place for home decor. If you are looking for great deals or decent quality goods, visit Old Time Pottery. Don't expect fancy high end stuff, but be assured that you will find something in your price range that will fit your needs. It's essentially a giant warehouse chock-ful o' discount home goods. I found this flower artwork for piece $1.25! ONE DOLLA and twenty-five cents. What a deal. Admittedly, I painted the frame black since the brown edges were nicked and it had to be restored anyways. There was once a white wall behind this TV. I painted lime green streak and BAM! this radial silver sunset thing brings it out. 20 dineros. read more

I like to go into this store to browse. I find some really good kitchen items to use for decent prices. Please be careful to inspect items though. Sometimes they are damaged. 1 out of 10 carts are good which is quite annoying to grab a cart and have to spend the time with it wobbling all of the store. Is it a trick to hit an item and break it and have to pay? 2 out of 10 of the cashiers always seem to have a slight attitude. Not sure why. To avoid getting frustrated with the carts and cashiers, I go there once every 2 months and walk through each aisle to find things. It's not a bad place but not that great! read more

Huge warehouse of home goods! Really great prices and huge selection on any type of wall art (indoor or outdoor). They make it really easy to shop with a very open floor plan and similar merchandise is grouped together. I love the nautical aisles where you can find tons of cute things to decorate your home or office with for that seaside look. You'll find everything from dishes, to mirrors, to faux flowers/plants, to pottery and all at really good prices. There is not a lot of staff members and they always seem to be busy doing something, so you'll have to seek someone out if you need help or have a question. Some of the stuff is a little too "cheap"; for example I wouldn't buy my cooking utensils here as the quality does't look so good. We get a ton of our home decor here though because you can't beat the selection or the prices! read more

They have everything you can imagine.

Old time pottery is a place you go to to just get lost in a sea of goodies !! I was so surprised to find the store because we have them up north and I absolutely love this place. They have everything you would need to either set up a house or replenish things or decorate from indoors to outdoors and in between. Their prices are extremely great with quality being fairly decent. The store itself is quite clean and for it being so filled with merchandise they do a great job of keeping everything organized. I think I was in here for three hours and didn't even realize it because I had to look at everything. When I checked out my bill was under $100 and I had a shopping cart full of things. I like to run out of things at home so I can have an excuse to come here. read more
