What a GEM! 1232 Broad St. Mercantile is the master mind of 2 women who have their own stores and…read morecombined into this one! The local just call it "Mercantile". My friend Denise, a newer Michigan resident introduced me to this gem of a store. It's a collection of vintage pieces and antique furniture with a bit of modern newness sprinkled throughout- there's kid clothes and toys that are bought from elsewhere and brought in. The owners have an eye for beautiful things- there's something here for every room of your house and even outside your house too! Pricing is moderate. I found a gorgeous brass candle holder for $40 and also passed on some artwork that was $175. They have 2 bathrooms while you're shopping that are spacious and clean. Parking is incredibly easy right out front on their property. The pulling out is a bit scary as this shop is on a bend in the road. The gal working was in constant communication with the owners while we were asking questions about some of the pieces. It was nice that they were on top of their things! I wish they had more of a vintage jewelry selection, but my friend and I both walked away with a few things for our homes!

They have a lot of items for super cheap. While the stuff is all used and pretty well loved, it all seemed reasonably nice. I could see someone who loves restoring furniture having a grand old time in here. We got a decent table for only $9 that we plan on painting. They have a large selection of items in all their sections, including VHS tapes, clothes and vases. My husband and I plan on coming back often because the employees are kind and the items are great for a thrift store.

I appreciated the owner's keen eye for what pieces can work well together, and many include a piece of jewelry to tie the outfit together. Some beautiful sweaters for fall were available in a knit that had shades of blues and purples that were just stunning, and I'm looking forward to wearing the scarf I bought. Helpful staff and a few dressing rooms round out the experience.

They arrived w/aUHaul truck. When they saw we had some really good stuff, one of the guys was suspiciously on the phone calling someone. My husband saw this/overheard part of the conversation before he quickly got off the phone. They tossed things in fast took all but a couple items then said they would be back in an hour. 5 hours passed. Called the store and the folks there said the guys had not yet come back from the pick up. Since the store was only about 15 minutes away I'd say they had themselves a great time picking thru and stealing the items meant for needy people. If you are the management you are either a part of this criminal activity or you are clueless and you hired the wrong people. The perfect crime from a really crappy business. What goes around comes around. Some day they will stand and be judged.
