Lighthouse Antique Mall

What are your business hours? I’ve tried searching on Unilocal,Google and called to see if you have it on your greeting… nothing.

We stopped by on an antique weekend in the area.
First thing inside the door, they asked the ladies to check their purses in a locker they control or put in in our car. Obviously, the girls choose the car.
Once inside, the help followed everyone in the store in which seemed like they were on patrol for shoplifters.
Made us very uncomfortable! Lastly, my friend picked out 3 vintage lighters, which one of the «watchers» took to check out. When we got ready to leave, there were only 2. No one had any idea where the 3^rd one ended up, but Mr. Watcher denied having 3 in the first place.
With that, we walked out with nothing.
The place was pricey, crowded and with the security overkill, I can guarantee that we will never go back there! We went across the street to their competition, were treated with respect, and we all spent money.

Not sure about the store because we did not make it past the door. This store is in the middle of nowhere and they wanted me to lock my purse up in a locker in the entry of the building. No way! Seemed a bit sketchy… not sure how they make it when they offend at the door.

It’s fine. You know how these places are — if they have your stuff, great — if not, the place sucks. It can change from week to week. The place is fine /​average. BUT, DO NOT think you will be in there one milisecond past closing time. Those old men turn into witches at the stroke of midnight! Also to note: don’t discount the place across the road — Lisa’s antique mall. It’s shabby looking outside, but it’s better and bigger than it looks from the highway. Definitely worth checking out both of these.

Some good merchandise and some not so good. Having to put my purse in a locker is bad enough, but the numerous signs warning shoplifters was a bit overboard. Considering they neglected to put one of my items in the bag, it appears the shoe could be on the other foot.

I disagree with the previous poster about this antique mall. While it wasn’t the best antique mall I have ever visited, this place was chock full of merchandise… some run of the mill but some quite nice. I am a rather creative person and use old tins to create «found object» sculptures… there was a case in this place where you could purchase old tins of all shapes, sizes and colors for $ 5 apiece or 5 for $ 20!!! I found some great buys on those. There were also some stunning colorful, old czech rhinestone brooches from the 30s/​40s which were found in an old factory. These were priced between $ 50 and $ 70, but all were 30% off. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore and I am thrilled with the brooch I picked out for less than $ 50. Bottom line, this mall is a worthwhile stop if you’re on the road and need to stretch your legs… I’ll be back. The only downside I found was that they make you lock up your purse in a locker in the vestibule of the mall… I understand security, but felt this was rather harsh… I’m not a fan of the suspicious shopkeeper, but the good outweighed the bad here, so I’ll put up with it. Next time I’ll just leave my purse in the car!!!

I am always intrigued when I see an antique mall perched by the interstate, but this one was a let down. Everything was a bit pricey and just kind of stuffed on the shelves.
