Massive antiques mall packed with treasures. I only had a half hour and didn’t get the full experience, but I’ll be back!

Most reviews state this place is pretty expensive, and while yes, I do agree, I also disagree. Prices are reasonable considering the items. If it's too expensive for you, it might not be for the right person. The building is very well kept, both inside and out. Entry is decorated in a way that made me feel welcome, which I found to be relatively unique. The floor walkers are actually a plus. It made my shopping experience feel pretty stress free. I didn't have to worry about carrying something and possibly breaking it. I've seen reviews from people stating the staff was rude or they felt like staff were watching them...I encountered 4 (saw 5 but didn't interact with the 5th one) staff members and each of them were pleasant. One thing I thought was such a great touch, each booth was named something you'd see out of an old western or an old timey cartoon. You can see the pride and care the owner takes here, along with the booth owners. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will visit again.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! Our prices across the country are relatively right on the money, but we truly appreciate you recognizing that. We’re also so glad you felt welcomed—that’s exactly the kind of experience we want everyone to have! My husband and I literally built Bright’s from the dirt up on an old cow pasture, so it means a lot to hear that the care and pride we put into it come through. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to welcoming you back!

It’s one of the best antique malls in the area and has a great flea market. That’s the first and third Saturdays and Sunday of the month.
Thank you so much James!!

Really big & good variety of antiques etc. Good place to spend a cold afternoon looking for your special items. They have a loyalty card to use whenever you stop in & buy something. Friendly people there! Enjoyed the day & found a few items I love to pick up.
Thank you so much for the kind review and for the compliments. We truly appreciate it!

Massive building with anything you could think of! Fun to visit even if you don’t plan on buying anything. They have benches throughout the building for those people who need a break from walking/standing or are waiting for someone they’re with to browse/catch up. You can spend half a day there & probably not see all of the items. An antique shoppers dream. Well priced too.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our store. We are glad you enjoyed your visit and took the time to look around. Please come back and see us
