Country Shops of Grabill

Awesome place with hidden gold around each corner. There’s stuff for men, women, kids, your pets, and most are reasonably priced. The building is two floors and pretty large, so give yourself plenty of time. Make sure you check out the general store and Coffee Cabin around back.

In desperate need of fresh blood and/​or new management. This is a large antique mall in a delightful old building. The building itself occupies two floors. The place *could* be awesome, but unfortunately this is yet another place that’s heading rapidly downhill. Major Problems: MANY dealers have bailed out (the second floor is now vacant and shut down). Also, the dealers that do remain tend to be ridiculously overpriced, and/​or they almost NEVER get new inventory. (Hint to clueless antique dealers: If you have exactly the same crap in your booth that was there a year ago, your chances of selling it now are *pretty darn slim* unless you start lowering the price. And… «No new stuff to look at» is like the kiss of death for your business. Hello!!) There used to be a neat little restaurant out back, but that’s now also closed. On the upside, the place is worth a visit of you are in the area and you’ve never seen it before; also, if you like Vera Bradley stuff and lavender soap and stuff like that. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way.
