Alston's Antiques & Gifts

Alston's Antiques & Gifts was a beloved antique store located in Gulfport, Mississippi. The store offered a diverse assortment of antique and vintage merchandise, with one customer describing it as having "a nice variety of things." While some reviewers noted the presence of "secondhand crap," the store also carried "some older items" that would likely interest collectors and enthusiasts.

The owner of Alston's was described as "nice," which likely contributed to the store's positive reputation among its patrons. One customer, Kaycee Zarske, expressed sadness over the store's closure, stating, "Sad that it closed... I loved Alston's," indicating that Alston's Antiques & Gifts had developed a loyal following among local antique shoppers.

However, not all customer experiences were entirely positive. One reviewer, K Kennedy, cautioned that "Prices aren't very good and don't seem well researched," and advised shoppers to "Beware getting ripped off here." This suggests that while Alston's may have offered a diverse selection of antiques, the pricing and valuation of items could be inconsistent or potentially unfair.

Despite these mixed reviews, Alston's Antiques & Gifts appears to have been a unique and memorable antique store in the Gulfport area, with a friendly owner and a varied inventory that appealed to a range of customers. The store's closure was clearly a disappointment for some local antique enthusiasts.
