Lots to see, all different booths so prices varied. Cashiers were super friendly and knew when something I'd chosen was on sale, so that was nice. They also have a selection of drinks and snacks up front. Highly recommend visiting to browse or look for something specific. read more

Franklin's - Functioning bar. Beer while the wife shops - Antiques Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

Very cute store, many different booths. Pricing was average, more boutique level than thrift level. I loved the selection of vintage linens! If I had more time just that area of the store could have kept me occupied for hours. I found some beautiful handkerchiefs for an upcoming project I am working on. We were greeted by several friendly team members throughout the store. My only complaint is that the store was extremely warm for a "woman of a certain age" lol read more

Was told they could order an item, left name, phone number, and they never called to say whether it was in or not. After a month went in only to find out they could not order it but instead of calling to let someone know they did nothing. poor customer service read more

One of the first things besides food I always make sure to check out is a thrift store and antique place. Franklins was really neat. They have great staff that walks around seeing if people need help, they greet you right away and there is a BAR for drinks while you shop. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is stuff is pricey but most of all, it seemed really empty. The front was not very full, the booths didn't seem very packed of product except for my favorite one called Pine & Petal. It almost seemed like there was way more stuff for men or men antique sports than anything else. The back was VERY EMPTY. I always do a couple laps before leaving a store because you can always miss something, but I didn't see anything I couldn't live without. So I bought a t-shirt. It's still a cool place to see, so I do recommend going. read more

Very unfriendly place not one worker says hello or have a good day. The prices are very high and this place has become an extreme tourist trap. read more

Very cool collection of a wide variety of stuff. From old toys, antiques, collectibles, classmate, cooking/kitchen equipment, vintage clothes, craft items, plants, holiday decorations, beautiful raw edge wood slabs and furniture. Vendors have their own area and each has done a great job organizing and staging their goods for sale. There is one central check out. This place is a treat for anyone over 50 with any nostalgic feelings. Moms Corning ware, our Barbies with clothes and carrying case. Do yourself a favor and put this antique market place on list of things to do in historic New Bern. read more

Franklin's - Signs - Antiques Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

Too many people inside and half not wearing masks. I mentioned to manager and he said, "We just had 3 doctors in here not wearing masks." Like that makes it OK? Told him I was leaving and he said OK. read more

The policy states no returns. be sure to check your items thoroughly even if the item isn't open. open it! A $30 pellet gun still in it's original packaging. Find out at home it doesn't work. When asked if we could talk to the vendor the employee became evasive. She then admitted that the vendor was in fact her husband. shady, that's all I have to say. Even with that policy in place, there are exceptions to rules. Bad business all around. read more

Another fave stop when visiting New Bern; you'll find Franklins just over the bridge. Lots of antiques, furniture pieces, and be sure and check out the booth with all the locally made jams and salsas and such. I have my favorites. I'm sure you'll find some of your own. read more

Lovely shop with an attentive staff! Wide selection of goods to satisfy all your needs!

Better than ever since they refurbished after hurricane Florence! I always have so much fun when I go in and check out what's new...and there's always something new. So many unique and historical interesting things to look at. It's like a museum where you're allowed to touch. There is truly something for everyone here with prices to fit every budget. I especially love the vintage jewelry and fashions :) The staff is warm and welcoming. Definitely worth a stop! read more
