This antique mall, or as we referred to it, hoarders, overstock, is terribly overpriced and…read moreseveral areas of the store looks like a hoarder ran out of room in their home and there are three storage units and decided to dump some of their stuff here several areas are so full of glassware and things piled on the floor that you cannot even shop the booth and it's been like this for years. I'm not sure how many pieces they move in a day or a year but coming here a year after year after year I've noticed the same stuff sitting on the shelf with faded price tags dusty items just don't seem to move and when I do purchase something, which is rare, I noticed people in line are making very small purchases of small items like maybe a record or a couple pieces of glassware. I'm sure they move larger items every now and then but it seems like the same stuff in the same booth and display cases that never moves. There are plenty of malls out there where items are priced to sell and there's always fresh items to look at so I recommend looking around. If you're in the area, go ahead and stop, but don't have high expectations. If you live outside the area, I don't know that I would waste the time or the gas to visit this one.

They are also most interesting.

I would be genuinely surprised if you told me that you couldn't find a vintage thing you were…read morelooking for in this space. That's because Sweet Lorain has everything and more. It's such a nostalgic loire with mid-century modern treasures between 1920 and 1980. I've now visited a few times and really loved my time here. It also has been recognized for being one of the best thrift shops in Ohio. I can see why! AMBIANCE/MERCH: The store occupies 10,000 square feet space on Lorain. It's a neighborhood well known for thrift to the extent that you can have your own crawl. Sweet Lorain has the main space, back space, and furniture room. The main space mostly contains old newspapers, vinyls, jewelry, and home decor. The furniture room has furniture and nostalgic toys. The back room is the treasure chest. You'll find global treasures, Ohio decor, Christmas decor, furs, clothing, luggage, hats, and never ending inventory of whatever you brain may dream up. Some inventory even indicates the era. The inventory pricing widely varies from a few cents to the thousands. Be ready to go on an archeological dig, there is an overwhelming amount of inventory and unique finds. I am a very picky thrifter, and even I can find things to light up about. I love the assortment of furs at Sweet Lorain. There are so many racks of fur coats, boxes upon boxes of muftas, stoles, and hats. There is a fabulous collection of feathered hats (let's bring this fashion back)!There are also a million other things to love. SERVICE: The service is pretty friendly, the owner and the employee always ask if you want help. I most impressed that the owner knows absolutely everything he carries in his enormous inventory. Just ask, and he'll tell you. PARKING: Small, gated parking lot is available onsite. You can also find plenty of street parking. SELL: This place allows you to sell your treasures. Make an appointment in advance. I plan to be back very soon to dig for formal accessories - shoes and clutches. If you have a formal occasion, venture out here. You'll find so many shoes, clutches, formal dresses, and everything in between. It's perfect destination for holiday outfit shopping and everything in between.

Actually, they were very excited with just how much we loved taking photos. (These two REALLY understand customer service and how important photography and social media are to the 30-something set) We had a lovely dialogue about how vintage fashion is one of the most delightful interests one could have because it tells so many stories! They offered to watch my friend's dog as we perused the amazing goodies, and even gave us cookies while we were trying on outfits. Thank you SO much fellas, for treating these two hard working women to a wonderful afternoon. You certainly know how to convince a gal to spend her entire paycheck!!

Vintage Xmas ornaments? Got them. Vintage purses? Got them. Glassware of all eras and designs? Yep! One tip to this store is make sure you get to their basement. Items tend to be reduced or are garage sale finds that may not be that old but that are worth buying. I frequently find leather travel frames and interesting mirrors and boxes in the basement. Parking is plentiful with meters and there are other antique stores on both sides of the street.

I went there the other month and whoever decided to change the layout/appearance completely ruined it. The antique charm that the store use to have is completely gone. Everything is too organized now and the selection is very sparse. The whole point of going to an antique store is to look through the "clutter" and "treasure hunt". I'm very sad to say that myself and the 15 friends that I brought with me will not be shopping at this place again. The Antique Depot & Brothers Antiques will be our go to destinations from now on. Very very disappointed in them for trying to make it look more like an organized department store.
