I was visiting friends in the Quad Cities and had the pleasure of stopping in to check this place…read moreout - what a find!! This place is awesome! I'm not an antique store type of person. I'm not a big fan of shopping really but I do like checking out furniture and unusual items. I could spend hours here and the best part is that everything is displayed so nicely, no digging through mysterious piles to locate something worthwhile. You actually feel as though you can see everything and think about how you might like to use it in your own space. The amount of art and re-purposed items is amazing. And I've never seen so many cool vintage items (the kind of treasures that your friends tell you about after they've spent hours combing through the back of some dusty old thrift store that you would not even walk by, let alone enter). This place is a treasure itself - a refurbished funeral home with just the right amount of abstract art and unique pieces that peak your curiosity and make you want to return to see if that vanity you had your eye on last time you were in sold...or find an unusual gift for that cousin that likes odd designed, yet functional kitchen items. Quad City residents...stop by once and you'll be hooked. If you're from the surrounding area (or nearby states)...make a monthly pilgrimage to see what's new...well worth the trip! I only wish I lived closer.

Spent a wonderful few hours in this magical place! Brandy has a wonderful place! My sister and I…read morefound some great deals and enjoyed the different rooms of art!

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.

This was a fun stop…read more But I'm going to give it to your straight here... Warning: If you have issue with the heat DO NOT go here on a hot day! Like on a July 4th weekend like we did... 90+ degrees on the Saturday we stopped by Mississippi Marketplace. It's a large space and only one small closed off section has AC. They do run large fans throughout the space and offer free complimentary bottles of water. I could feel sweat start to bead up on me within a couple of minutes of walking in and it didn't get much better... Basically the space is a large open machine shed with rows of vendor booths. The row layout is aimilar to many other antique/vendor malls. With no lower ceiling the power bill to run AC to cool the place down would probably be a small fortune... My best guess is it's an even split between antique or vintage items and modern new items. I got a couple of great deals here... An old vintage fire extinquisher. Cleaned up these go for $250 online. The vendor had it priced at $70 and was running a 50% sale. So $35... I can put some elbow grease into it... It will be a great addition to my collection. A rough 12 inch vintage Wagner cast iron pan for $20. It's worth that all day long. I'll strip it and reseason it. The staff here is fantastic! Great interactions with them! There are some locked cases you will need them to access, but the vast majority of items can just be picked up and taken to the front. Definitely worth the time to stop! But I'll reinterate... If you don't deal with heat well plan this visit on a nicer day than we did...!

This is a hidden gem! We pulled into the parking lot of a…read moreself storage facility and I thought, "Oh I get this. When they foreclose on a unit, they sell it in there." Wrong Answer! The building is loaded with individually owned, displayed and priced units. Some of them are time frames, some of them are theme booths while others are hodgepodge. There are lots of "Remember these?" and "What do you do with that?" Fun Fun Fun The only drawback for me was the building was cold. I can only imagine what it will feel like in cold weather.
