My husband and I love visiting antique stores, so we were really excited when we came across the…read moreAntique Mall. There are so many vendor booths filled with all kinds of unique items to browse. Fairly priced items.

Staff is friendly and vey helpful if you have questions or need assistance.

OUT-OF-STATE DEALERS BE ADVISED: Unlike virtually every other antique mall in the Phoenix metro…read morearea, this establishment does not accept out-of-state resale certificates. As a result, out-of-state dealers should expect to pay the full 9.1% sales tax at checkout. Unfortunately, we invested a significant amount of time shopping the store before learning this policy, which ultimately forced us to put back most of the merchandise we selected that no longer made financial sense with the additional tax burden. Dealers understand how narrow margins can be in this business, so this policy is an important consideration. That said, the store itself is exceptionally clean, modern, and well-curated, with a professional and welcoming front desk staff. As a newer operation, some vendor pricing appears notably (even breathtakingly) ambitious, though that may reflect an effort to gauge the market. For out-of-state dealers seeking more resale-friendly options, we would recommend either Brass Armadillo location (including the nearby location just a few miles away), Antique Trove in Scottsdale, or Call It New / Call It Antique in Mesa. All of these establishments have been more accommodating regarding out-of-state resale documentation and are generally more dealer-friendly overall.

The Town is small but has many craft shops, featuring native jewelry, knives, katchina dolls and so much more: I bought myself a beautiful folded steel knife with wood handle and a leather belt sheaf, it has great balance besides being a work of art. We strolled around in the light rain, went to look at the rustic wedding chapel - closed, so couldn't see i side - took the photo coming out of the salloon, and the headed over to Hansen's BBQ for a cold one. We got our drinks and sat at one of the high tops sipping our drinks and looking forward to some live music. Cody Gibson had been up on stage for a while when I went to ask him for a fave tune: the Streets of Laredo. He listened to it and then played it for me ! All was going so well then a sudden "Craaack" and a splitting sound: the transformer down the road died, so the Town and restaurants closed... We couldn't stay to eat so can't comment on value or taste. Thank you Cody for your lovely music, and Frontier Town for showcasing your art and charm. We'll be back to taste your food !

Many of the businesses were established out of houses, which made these places quaint and cozy. We went into several gift shops, plant stores, specialty shops, and restaurants. The buildings were connected by little alleyways and paths they you could walk to from store to store. There was plenty of parking along the streets and although this was an older, historic town, it was well-maintained. Be sure to check out the various placards and signs on some of the buildings to learn about their history. Cool spot! Lots of southwestern charm and pretty lampposts in this sleepy town.
