Was in the area and decided to check it out. Neat antique shop. Great variety of antiques. Bought some glassware and pottery and tools and advertising ad. Friendly staff. Recommend it.

We stopped by here while staying at the Blue Green Resort nearby. We always love exploring local antique stores as we travel. Gateway Antique Center was definitely more than we expected from the outside. We spent some time here exploring the different areas of the store and looking for the treasure we didn't know we needed. They have a lot of great items at good prices.

Located above the ground floor shops, this one has space to pursue without the excessive visual clutter. Bought two gifts and feel quite satisfied. Shop keeper is pleasant and attentive. Thank you!

An excellent shop run by enjoyable, eclectic people! You'll find anything and everything here, and unexpected surprises wait around every corner. Whether you're looking for midcentury furniture, primitive decor, cottagey china sets, or assorted porcelain doll pieces, you'll find it here! The music is also the best, definitely not the stuffy generic 50s-60s 'oldies' a lot of antique shops tend to prefer. Located on the lower floor of the building, wheelchair access is possible but many of the booths themselves will be difficult to move through in a chair, so definitely bring a friend to enjoy the hunt, too! Gateway is a little like time travel and a fun way to spend an afternoon.

Amazing selection of vintage housewares, decor, books, furniture. Beautiful selection of Pyrex! I bought a set of vintage salt and pepper shakers and a cookbook. Plenty of parking. Super friendly staff.

Man, what a wild place. A thousand things scream out for your attention here. Looking for unique antiquated glassware? They have it. Looking for authentic, individualized chess boards? They have them. Looking for 1950's designer coffee sets? They're here. If you spend even a small part of your free time at thrift stores, it's a fantastic upgrade to that experience to come here. They're at the heart of the Ruckersville antique journey path. They are an anchor of that experience. I've never visited the restaurant, but I surely should. The people-watching is supreme, and I've fallen in love at least twice while visiting here. The authenticity and irony of the experience is second-to-none. This place sets a high bar for an antiquing experience. Service is kind and welcoming. The prices are reasonably high, but you get a high value in return. You won't find trash here for sale like you might at my favorite Goodwill. The diversity, genre, and historical value of the collection here is outstanding. Highly recommended, thoroughly encouraged. Please visit, observe, peruse, and purchase. This place needs your support to exist and thrive. It should exist and thrive.
