Never have I ever been asked to pay an admission fee to enter a facility in which I had planned on spending money. They lost a paint sale today as I was intending on buying some of the Junk Gypsy paint. In addition, I was really looking forward to making a few furniture purchases as I am re-doing several rooms in my house. As a business owner myself, I realize that half of the battle is getting clients through the door. Here they are turning them away before they can get over the threshold. I arrived at the location around noon today, Friday 3/3. I had shopped here before last year (for free..) and was looking forward to spending several hours looking again; last year during our visit there were a LOT of customers. So when I was asked to pay an admission price today, I was so shocked that I turned around and left. The facility was empty of clients... Since there are about 100 other antique shops, not to mention all the thrift stores in town, I think Ill stick to the stores where I can look and shop without having to pay an admission. And for the record, I will also stick to purchasing Annie Sloan paint from Keep the Piece in Omaha where I dont have to pay to enter their store. Perhaps they should rethink their business plan if the intent is to make sales, because I for one will not be back if I am forced to pay just to enter the facility to make purchases.

I came into the store with my son on Saturday 2.24.17 looking for a very specific unique high dollar ($500+) item that I had seen posted online. The $1 requested at the door is actually a DONATION to the food bank (not a $1 "cover charge") which we were more than willing to support. I was immediately greeted by April. She found the exact item I wanted. April even told me the history of the item, which made me love it even more. She was willing to wiggle on asking price a bit to compromise at a purchase price that we were both comfortable with. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. Would definitely buy from here again.

admission price for the privilege of shopping there. No thank yo turned right around and our group went elsewhere and shopped everywhere else for free. as in normal.

This place was sooo fun. Lots to look at and enjoy. We couldve spent hours in here. We even talked the price down a bit. My only complaint is it was cold inside.

This establishment is charging admission and then says he is giving it to the food bank. Insisting that its a donation, but you cant go in without paying.

Fair. Overpriced. Staff was nice. Lots to choose from. They do haggle.
