Bronze Giraffe Antiques

A pretty large establishment, with some interesting finds, but maybe not worth the drive off the interstate. I noticed the lockers, but didn’t know what they were for. Didn’t really think much of it. Had my (pregnant) wife had her purse with her, I’m sure they would’ve asked us to put it in a locker, at which point we would have left. If you treat all your customers like thieves, I don’t really want to shop there.
Can’t say they were the friendliest either. They weren’t horrible or anything, but I asked the woman a simple question about whether or not they had been in the same location always, or had moved – she kind of rolled her eyes, and looked at me like some alien creature. …Okay.
As I said, a decent selection, but not worth going out of your way for, and certainly not the friendliest staff.

I had driven past the antique mall once before and didnt have time to stop so the next time I found myself out this way I made sure to go by… and I had just gotten paid so good timing… I had barely stuck my foot in the door when a lady rudely said ma’am we’re closing… she seemed very upset that I had even opened the door. I thought closing? It’s not on any hour. When I got back in my car to leave I noticed it was ten till five. She could have said they were closing in ten minutes and let me decide if I wanted to look around instead of acting like I was not welcome to enter… I don’t know how many customers they get in a day, but one more surely couldn’t hurt? Definitly need customer service training. I went there with every intention of buying something… now I may not bother coming back… There are many other options on places to shop…

I’ve been to this store many times and have never had the problems listed below. It use easier to get around the store without a bag. What’s the problem with locking it up. You carry the key. The prices are great and I always find something.

I not only am not a thief, I have never broken something and not paid for it. Actually, I’ve never broken anything in an antique store because I know how to carry a purse. But if I did, I’d pay for it.
So, unfortunately, I had to walk out as quickly as I walked in to this one. There is plenty of thrifting and antiquing in the area with people who don’t treat their customers this way.

After reading the other comments about being yelled at, I was hesitant to try this place, but so curious because someone said they had great stuff. So I left my purse in the car! When we walked in we were greeted by both employees behind the counter, neither of which was the owner. The store is huge! There are tons of booths, but they’re arranged sort of confusing and you have to back track sometimes or you may miss a booth. Lots of interesting things here. I got a great deal on two photo frames and an old wooden chair painted white that was only $ 12 and I usually see them selling for $ 30 – 40. There were lots of neat antiques that really reminded me of my childhood in the 70’s. I will for sure come here again when I’m in town! I actually saw a woman walk in with a purse as I was checking out, and nobody asked her to lock it up. I also didn’t notice any signs about that. But they do have lockers there.

I have to agree with the other reviewer that you feel very untrusted at this store. Signs posted all over about how they can refuse service and you have to put your bag in a locker. No thanks. It’s unfortunate too because the actual booths have some good stuff and priced reasonably.
