Adamstown has three or four antique malls that I think are five-star-worthy. Mad Hatter is one of…read morethem. A lot of square footage, plenty of booths, an array of vendors and wares. Though I no longer actively collect -- I've downsized since selling my house -- I still look at items that interest me and rarely pass up a deal. Mad Hatter has beautiful pottery. (I've collected Hull and Roseville for 35+ years.) Several booths specialize in kitschy mid-century items which I find fun. I debated about purchasing the snack bowls I photographed, which my mom had in the 1950s. (Decided against it. Nostalgia didn't win out this time.) You can breeze through the mall or spend hours looking. Parking is easy, the staff is helpful and as said, if you're looking to build a collection, Mad Hatter is worth a visit.

The prices are steep but I'm sure they have what you're looking for The place is huge with multiple intersecting rooms. Lots of unique art but again, it's antique store pricing not thrift store pricing. I did not luck into any treasures today so I can't speak for their service but there were several people at the counter ready to assist if need be.

I was disappointed a few years ago when their Covid precautions were not being taken seriously, so hadn't been for a long time. I was encouraged by recent positive reviews to give them another chance. It was so disappointing. The majority of the grounds are empty. What used to be rows and rows of venders is just empty tables. The booths run by long term venders that are there every week are overpriced and stale. The market is just a shadow of what it once was and I won't be going back.

The shop inside is divided by vendor and each has a unique feel, some are more glitzy while others are more industrial looking. There are two floors so don't forget to check up stairs! The prices are very extremely fair and well marked. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area to check and see what's new! The area's are constantly redecorated by the vendors and were just Christmas'd up by alot of them! A few of the vendors create items you can't find anywhere else too so if your looking for unique things then check it out. My favorite homemade item I saw were these pillows that have various area's zip codes stenciled on them with the name of the town, super vintage and cute. I would recommend you check it out if your in town!

They have quite a selection to choose from, with pieces for people with all different tastes. Fair warning: the staff is mostly Mennonite, so they are very curt and are not concerned with exchanging pleasantries with the customers. But they are good at what they do, just don't get too easily offended! If you're buying a piece to refurbish, I highly recommend making a stop at Fisher Paints down the road. They have a great selection of paints and other items that are very helpful!

Unfortunately an odd snowstorm derailed the original March opening weekend, but I was still able to visit a few days later. Their grand opening is scheduled for this weekend with a schedule full of special events. If you are a tried and true thrift enthusiast, always looking for the best deal, to be honest this location is not for you. I'm one of those people and was a little taken back by their pricing. Let's touch on that for a moment.....prices are not horrible, but they are horrible compared to what I'm used to. THIS IS A BOUTIQUE THRIFT STORE. The staff even told me so, and is geared towards the tourist crowd, or those folks that might not otherwise purchase good second hand. At first glance, you won't know you're in a thrift store by the merchandise offerings and elevated displays and that's kind of the point. It's beautiful and their "better" name donations will end up here moving forward. It's evident someone with a skilled eye is responsible for the store layout and displays, which are beautiful. Parking is ample in their own lot. Hours are limited as of now but that could change when tourist season is in full swing. They will NEVER be open on Sundays, as they are a christian based ministery and the stores raise funds for addicts and their recovery.. What you won't find here is a huge selection, but adequate, the best of the best. Housewares unless it's higher end or decorative. A second floor is currently being renovated for future expansion, and the staff are wonderfull. Although it's not a store that will be on my thrift rotation due to the fact that I'm a resller and can't make money on retail prices but a lovely store I'd recommend for anyone looking to dip their toes into the reused world.

Contrary to reviews, I found the shop's personnel to be friendly and accommodating. Prices -- set by individual booth-owners -- are sometimes better than competitive. Likely due to their semi-rural location, merchandise is different - more interesting - than the urban antique malls I'm familiar with. I have a number of collections. Since I've downsized, I don't actively look to buy. BUT, if I find a deal, I take it. See the Roseville pottery I posted? The piece is pretty big, in perfect condition. I paid $44, including tax. (Elsewhere it would go for well over $100.) The last full week of most months, dealers throughout town host "Extravaganzas" with deals galore ... or so they say! I'll let you know, when I return in the spring.
