Spring Street Antique Mall

Cute little antique strip mall! LOTS to look at and spend an afternoon paroozing around. I like that there was several different types of shops in this one location.There was plenty of parking. The only bummer was that the Funko Pop shop wasn't open so we didn't get to check that one shop out. Would recommend making a stop here while in town!

Sunday, April 25th, stopped in at Spring Street Antiques in Rockbridge, Ohio located at Hocking Hills Market with hubby, daughter and son in-law to check out the outside and inside vendors. There was a lot of shoppers there mixing together to enjoy the weather and the treasures.We parked in the huge private parking lot and jumped out to start our treasure hunting adventure inside the Spring Street Antiques Store.I was able to find some very interesting items that I wanted to share

This has to be the worst store in this whole complex. There are tons of antiques, but they are all old items that no one really wants. Just old wooden dressers, and other miscellaneous items. There is also a distinct smell in the whole store. This isn't the kind of antique we were thinking that they had.

Typical antique mall with a few finds.I did see my first skunk pelt (ever!) here, but it wouldn't be the last (also saw one at the Logan Antique Mall)Logan has been dubbed the location of the largest Skunk Pelt Collection...in Ohio (or anywhere for that matter!) by yours truly. ;) #getthemwhileyoucan

WAY OVERPRICED. Seriously a ton of junk. A few nice finds but it'll take you a while to find anything after a lot of annoyance from outrageous price tags. Cash only most of the stores there and if you use a card it's an additional charge. Really disappointed considering how massive this place is.

Staff is selectively rude and unwelcoming. Was 5 minutes until closing, and basically asked to leave even though I was not the only customer remaining in the store.

Their google hours say they are open until 6. I walked in at 5:30 and was warned that they were closing soon. Apparently they close their registers and usher everyone out the door at 5:40. Everything I saw was also overpriced.

Me and my husband had stopped by after seeing the cute building from the road. Upon entering we were greeted multiple times by the workers but after looking around my husband accidentally bumped into one of the shelving units that were for sale but where this normally would've not been a problem the store had but very fragile glass baby items on that shelf even though the shelving had no doors attached to it and sadly a $15 item was broken as it fell when he bumped into it, obviously we gathered up the pieces and alerted the workers that this had occurred and we asked them what needs to happen next we were alerted of the policy of "you break it you buy it" even though there was no postage saying you needed to buy some thing if you broke it out of a complete accident and if that thing that was broken was less than a certain amount but also if the reason it was broken was partly on their fault for making such a enclosed room with a open shelving unit and putting fragile things on that unit. Also as this was a pure mistake and on their part lack of judgment to have such fragile items on a bulky shelf that covers half the entryway to another room, Of course we paid the $15 but left feeling as if we had done something so bad.

I was appalled by the racist conversations I overheard between two women proprietors working the cashier and a customer when I visited the Antique Mall on June 24th between 1:00 and 1:30 pm. The conversation initially began as a discussion about how "Black Lives Matter means that all lives don't matter" and the recent protests. The discussion then rapidly escalated when one of the women stated loudly that "Black people should feel lucky they were brought here as slaves, because now they live in America!" The other women agreed to this sentiment and another offered some half-baked rationale that "all people have been slaves at one point or another" as if this makes okay the atrocities that have and continue to be perpetrated against Black folks in the U.S. for the past 400 years. My mother and husband were both going to buy something from this store. I told the cashiers that we would not be purchasing anything from their store as I was greatly offended by the racist statements they made. I tried to describe the Black Lives Matter does not mean that all lives don't matter, rather that Black lives are the focus of the present moment. I told her she obviously has not been listening to the conversations and statements made by Black activists and those involved in the Black Lives Matter movement, to which she replied "I have Black friends." I suppose she assumed this makes her racist statements valid? I'm sure that at least some of those who rent booths from this establishment and would be upset to learn that the proprietors are losing them business because of their shameful racist conversations held loudly at the entrance of the store. I'm also sure that some potential customers will reconsider supporting this business.

Most of the vendors are way overpriced... clearly they're taking advantage the tourist traffic.
