Downtown Mini Mall II

We love looking in the store and finding things. sometimes you come across something unusual! good way to spend a weekend. just browsing.

This place is awesome! my daughter and I worked our way though as much of the mall as we could, its so large we barely made a dent but I found a wonderful vase as a gift for my wife that I thought was under priced but they honored it, I saw many wonderful items I would have loved to have but when you’re on vacation you can only carry so much. Prior to leaving I notice there was a whole 2^nd floor we couldn’t get too. If you’re wanting to look for that obscure awesome item I have no doubt this is the place.
Oh did I say how friendly there were? Made us feel completely at home and welcome. We visit many similar stores and frankly if I lived in Denton this would be my go to place, I highly recommend this store.

Poor selection, smelly in a way that I think some of the books had bacteria of some sort. Couldn’t add those to my collection even if they had something… which they don’t.
Made me leave my small plastic shopping bag upfront or I couldn’t come in. On my way out it was just sitting on a table no one near it right next to the door… Nothing good to find and treated like a criminal on my way in… Down the street the mini mall 1 I walked all around with my bag and no one made an issue about it.

Great place to check out old downtown Denton. Lots of stuff from new to junk to rare stuff. Needs a good look Fun nice atmosphere.

Fun to walk through, but can be a bit overwhelming. Lots to look through! Found lots of interesting things!

As if one Downtown Mini Mall was not enough, enter Downtown Mini Mall II.
I can’t quit put my finger on it, but the «goods» at Downtown Mini Mall II seemed to be in worse shape than the goods at Downtown Mini Mall (I). That does not mean it was not still fun to wander around, and it’s definitely worth a stop if you are on the square.
Unlike Downtown Mini Mall (I) which has an upstairs (more like a loft), Downtown Mini Mall II has a basement. I never went down as the PA was blaring that the store was closing. If you want to wander either of these stores properly, you’ll need at least an hour (each).
If you are looking for something odd or unusual, you have come to the right place.
For a peek inside, see this edition of The Daytriiper (I’ve already cued it right to the right spot):

Full of bizarre-​o awesome goodies, vintage items etc. You could look around for hours.

Thanks to the Mini Mall, I have the most decked out apartment with awesome, weird, vintage décor and conversation-​starting ‘things’. I’ve known very few people who have walked away without a purchase of some sort. You want LPs or 78s? You’ll find them, cheap. You’re looking for old postcards or photographs, ancient medicine bottles, globes, magazines, vintage clothes and shoes? It’s all there. I mean, who wouldn’t want to walk into the place when the outside window display contains every weapon one would need during the zombie-​apocalypse? Swords, bows and arrows, viking hats, guns, bullet vests, num-​chucks, and other weapons I cannot even name.
They do not advertise themselves as an upscale consignment store, and that’s the attitude they have. The prices, from my experience, are perfect. I would suggest scoping the entire place out before making a purchase, they happen to have many of the same items throughout the store that when you pick up, seems completely unique but is way overpriced.
I would suggest to go there if you’re looking for props for a scene, have friends in town who are entertained by junk stores, or are just bored.
The one downside is that they are never open on Sunday and close relatively early on the weeknights. So if you have the pleasure of passing by during the week or on Saturday, don’t deny that evil pumpkin staring at you from the window. Go on in.

Mini Mall 2, what a turn around lots of new vendors in there. You will be really surprised at what you will find in there. Everything from household to old stuff. You can spend hours in there if you like. They have added furniture down stairs on one side and military stuff on the other. The staff are very interesting never a dull moment. Good pricing. too…
Oh lots of good high and low range jewelry also.

This place is hilarious. I dunno if you’d actually ever buy anything here, because it’s either junk or overpriced junk, but it’s fun to wander through the aisles. It would be a great stop for a Halloween costume or any other theme party (especially military theme… part of the store is practically an Army-​Navy surplus).
It’s easy to spend an hour wandering around and laughing at weird things or things that you once had as a kid. Great spot for a date, to be honest, as it’s FULL of conversation starters. Probably not a first date, though, unless you want to project the «our next date will be bingo at the local nursing home» vibe.

Downtown Mini Mall II is pretty much the same as the Mini Mall I. Except they just have different junk, but less of it.
I could go into details about what they have, but it would read the same as my first review. And instead of having an upstairs, they have a downstairs.
Best part of the whole experience, however, was finding an Olympia DeLuxe typewriter in perfect condition with a brush, a key for the case, the case of course and it types in script font. Mine for the effing taking and I took it! It set me back more than I really wanted to pay and I probably got ripped off, but that’s okay because when you want something, you want it. And I didn’t hide the fact that I wanted that baby at all.
So if you’re interested in looking at more junk and collectibles, head on over to the Mini Mall II after you’ve had your fun at Mini Mall I like me and the husband did.
