The Depot is a magnificent antique/vintage marketplace. You could spend hours walking around browsing. There is everything from comics to dish ware to textiles. We have been back twice and we are only in town for a few days. I recommend taking a map so you don't get lost. The stalls are very well curated and have so much to offer. I imagine this is a decorator's paradise. Many of the items I looked at were reasonably priced and the staff were helpful. If you love vintage shopping The Depot is a must of you are in Concord. read more

This was such a fun place to walk through! I came with my friends awhile back and we easily could've spent an entire afternoon...they stayed about an hour before going to an escape room but I hung out at a piano that I found near the end of my stroll. There are multiple rooms and all kinds of little knickknacks and tchotchkes for everyone. Record collections, clothes, books, kitchenware and more. You will find what you are looking for here! Great value and friendly service. @azfitfoodfun read more

I blocked off an entire day to come here and made the trip from Charleston while visiting family, so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Prices were extremely high across the board, and a lot of booths had items that looked like they were straight from Amazon, Shein, or Temu but marked up significantly. That alone was frustrating, especially for a place marketed as an antique destination. The staff we encountered were also not friendly, which didn't help the experience. On top of that, there was a live band playing somewhere on the property, and the sound carried throughout the entire building. It was loud enough that everyone in our group ended up with a headache, which made it really hard to enjoy browsing. We ended up leaving early, which says a lot considering I had planned to spend the whole day there. Overall, not what I expected, and I wouldn't return. read more

This place is seriously massive! You should definitely plan to spend a few hours here to be able to see everything. It felt a bit crowded for my liking (on a Saturday) - difficult to navigate the booths and aisles without someone being in the way or trying to stand out of theirs. Overall, a large variety of items but we didn't end up finding much of what we were looking for. A few items were priced questionably high, but I can't say this surprised me. My biggest thing to note, and possible reason why I wouldn't return, is that the checkout line was insane. I timed how long we were in line for and it was 45 mins. Just to buy one item. So many people left the line because they grew impatient, and I can't even blame them. It will force you to REALLY be sure that you are in love with the item you're getting. That said, I'm happy with the item I did find and I enjoyed my visit overall. I'm not sure if this would become a regular spot for me, although I love that they have food and drinks available. read more

Honestly, kinda overrated. It's huge but just more of the same. There wasn't a stand out or special booth. Many of the booths were drop shipped, new junk. Fine place to go if you're in the area, but don't make a special trip for it. read more

I came here looking for an antique tea set and unique wine glasses. What I found was a plethora of some of everything! Good stuff, not junk. This place is humongous and neatly organized to find some really good quality antiques. Arrival time was about 3pm with the sun still shining. By the time I left (at closing, lol) it was well passed 6pm...time stood still while looking up and down each aisle. Needless to say, I did not find my tea set and wine glasses BUTTTT I will return for another look. read more

Great variety of things!! I loved walking thru and looking at the large variety!! The service was excellent and I will definitely go back!

I didn't take any pictures, but this ranks in my top 5 returnable visit antique malls. Meaning, there will be different stuff every time you come here. The place is huge. Get lost huge. Stuff for everyone huge. Need 4 hours plus to walk huge. Will need to rest in between sections huge. Clean, safe, fun and handicap friendly. Top spot for me to take older relatives when they are in town. read more

My wife heard about this place for antiques and vintage finds and understood it is the largest antique mall in the south. So, we decided to travel the hour to Concord to check it out. We really didn't know how big it was until we pulled into the parking lot, WOW!! We first headed over to the Market area which we understand is a somewhat new addition (separate review). We walked in and were immediately impressed by the quality of the items within the booths. Now are you going to get an incredible deal, likely not, but this is a fun place to explore and get ideas. There was a long line of people waiting for the checkout and they were likely taking advantage of discounted Christmas items which many of the booth were offering at reduced prices. The building itself is very cool, my wife and I both love vintage industrial buildings and this has everything you look for in a vintage commercial space. We took about an hour to explore the perimeter aisles, it would easily take 4+ hours to wander each and every aisle. We will absolutely stop in again and are already planning to take my in-laws when they visit from the west coast this Spring. read more

Love coming here and just browsing all the things this place has to offer! Walking up and down the aisles brings back so many memories! The vendor selections are so good and each booth is something different! Never know what you might leave with!! read more

Great variety & value can be found in the hundreds of booths throughout the Depot. Plan accordingly because this place is huge. They have maps available to help you keep track. Antique & collectors dream. read more

Delightful. From the easy experience of going from booth to booth, to the creaky floor, this place has the selection you're looking for when you come to an antique mall/makers showcase. Staff was helpful and kind, knowing that we arrived within 40 minutes of closing - we rushed but when it was time to check out, we didn't feel like we inconvenienced anyone. A must stop if you're on the road and looking for a break from a long drive. read more

Clearly the best antique market in North Carolina. The size is just incredible - plan multiple days if you like looking in detail. They have everything you could possibly imagine, with pretty affordable prices. I've brought home numerous items, including a 3-speed vintage wooden record player that has excellent quality. Didn't even need a new needle! Highly recommended, and the nicest staff around. read more

Love hitting up the Depot from time to time-if antiques are your thing this is a mecca...Unique vendors and a lot of fun searching for interesting items you won't find elsewhere. read more

Absolutely recommend this place. Nestled in Concord North Carolina, you have to stop in here. People WAIT outside for this place to open up. Extremely quaint historic town and this very nostalgic and turn of the century building repurposed and refreshed!! Pros: Wonderfully decorated, music overcasted and billions of vendors to get lost around. 'Highly' recommend having a map with you! Cons: Can't even remotely consider one, LOL! Come one, come all, bring the family!! read more

This place is humongous! I loved it so much. Spent two hours browsing and still didn't see everything. They have a small deli so that you can eat and continue to shop. Very friendly and the Rueben was finger licking good and the potato salad was delish!! Was sad I had to leave as I was not from the area but will return! read more

My happy place! Go-to destination for antique lovers, urban adventurers, or anyone just looking to get out of the house on a rainy day. First of all, it's massive. Easily worth a day-trip. Second, the old building (old cotton mill) adds much character & history to any shopping excursion. I almost always find exactly what I am looking for. Prices are what one would expect for this type of place. Pro-tip: there is food (including beer/wine) on-site. (For a more extensive menu, don't miss the Gibson Mill Market food hall next door!) It's also an Instagram lover's dream!- Will update my review with photos when I get a chance. read more

So happy to see this finally starting up. Great way to bring people near and far together for some good food, good beer, and some good entertainment indoors or out. Next up, get a live band to play to really bring a crowd or a casual day spent with Friends and or family! The Buffalo chicken wrap I had was delicious and the fries were my favorite type! Staff was extremely friendly. Gibson Mill has so much to offer if you're in for lunch, drinking, or a sweet treat with coffee! Can't wait to see what more is brought there! Thanks for such a fun time ! read more

We enjoying looking at antiques in search of something, but not sure what....lol. The depot is large with many separate rooms. Each vendor has their own booth or space. We were impressed how nicely the items were displayed. The prices were a bit higher than vintage markets or estate sales, but we had a nice time perusing the items. read more

I always love going to the depot, I go even if I'm not looking to buy something. The atmosphere is so cool and I always have a good time looking around. It's a HUGE antique store, I love it so much. Some things are over priced but it's to be expected. The only downside is that there almost always is a line to checkout, there's only two registers so it takes awhile, but the employees are nice. read more

If you are looking for lots of collectibles and 50's , 60's and 70's era this is a great place to go.

This place is truly magical!! There is something for everyone here!! The antique mall is humongous and there's no telling what treasures you'll find when you stop by!

This is one of the COOLEST places I've been to. A hidden GEM! I can't believe I haven't known about it. I'm in awe. Such a large selection, a true blast into the past.

I have always enjoyed Gibson Mill. It is a great escape to find antiques, oddities, new items, and fun stuff. I will continue to go, but I know that my recent experience will forever taint future experiences. I found a gorgeous standing mirror while shopping one Saturday with my mom. Purchased it and they said they could hold it for up to seven days and I could come pick it up within that time. Wednesday rolls around and we leave our house in the husband's truck, with an hour before closing (30-minute drive with an anticipated 30-minutes left before closing). Due to unforeseen traffic issues, we pulled in the parking lot at 7 PM and got to the door at 7:02 (2-minutes after they closed). I get that I was late as the women mouthed through the glass window "sorry, we close at 7". So, we left, with the intent to come again the next day and a 30-minute drive home Thursday, we left a little earlier, in storms, accidents everywhere and got there with 5-minutes to spare. Door locked again, and three people inside. I showed my receipt through the window and said you still have 5-minutes before you close. I immediately get told they can't do pick-ups that late, the lights are already off, all the guys had already left (except the one who let me in) and they have to be off the clock exactly at 7 pm. When I was told when I could pick it up, no one mentioned that it could not be picked up that close to closing. The two female staff had really bad attitudes and were rude. I explained that this was my second evening of leaving as soon as we could possibly leave, after my husband left work early, sitting it traffic for nearly an hour each time for different reasons and will have spent 3-hours just in the effort to pick this item up. The gentleman who let me in, looked at me, spoke over the two women and said, "Don't worry, I will go get it for you". As he went to go get it, the first woman, who was the woman there the prior night angrily reached her hand out and demanded she see my receipt as if she didn't believe me and was frustrated that she was being asked to provide excellence in customer service. I get that there are limits on working hours and some people are just there to collect a paycheck and ideally, I would have been there earlier. Would LOVED to have been there earlier actually. Dealing with the stress of kids in the car, traffic, storms, and being late for someone who thinks being "early is on time" is frustrating. It may sound cheesy, but I learned many years ago in customer service training to "Give 'Em the Pickle". I suggest Gibson Mill get their employees to watch it, because it has had a lasting impact on how I treat my customers and clients in my business (Give 'em the Picke, by Bob Ferrell). Giving 4-minutes of their time, a tiny bit of extra effort, is a easy pickle, especially for someone who has spent three hours of stress trying to make it happen. Empathy, compassion, service, excellence and trust are some values that could be instilled in these ladies. Additionally, if you don't believe in assisting your customers until 7, your advertised closing time, then communicate a time for cutting off pick-up - 6:30 maybe? However, the gentleman who said "Don't, worry, I'll go get it for you" should get a shout out in your next staff meeting. He was a an exemplary employee and lead by example. He had empathy, strong emotional intelligence, compassion, excellence and service. To the gentleman who's name I do not know who saw what we were going through and understood....Thank you, a million times THANK YOU! read more

Love this place and all it has to offer. Even love the deli mid point where you can have a nice bite to eat.Everything from fabric to antiques can be found.The only thing I don't like is when you sped like 350.00 and you get one stamp on the card. It really should be a stamp for every 50.00 or even 100.00. It's only fair to those who by a 55.00 item and not to those who spend more read more

I used to like this place until it became fully commercialized. We went up yesterday hoping to explore all the antiques and variety of vendor booths. It seems it is now the same type/style of items spread throughout all of the "booths". Shabby chic decor and fake antique signs, dishes and other items with a few truly vintage items sparsely sprinkled about. Lots of pillows, candles, and "live, laugh, love"-type signs. It's truly awful. A few yrs ago it was a true antique mall. So disappointed by what it's become. I won't return. (I'd much rather go to Sleepy Poet, Southend Exchange or The Brass Grasshopper). read more

While visiting family in Charlotte, my DIL suggested we visit the Depot. What a delightful place. Loads of fun antiques and vintage items. The prices were spot on in my opinion. The vast majority of the booths were very well maintained. It was a little confusing to get around. The aisles were plenty wide to pass other shoppers. The entire space is well lit. There was quite a line at the check out but people were getting checked out quickly. Nice mini shopping carts were available for shoppers. It had a welcoming vibe. I'd recommend planning on a couple hours to visit the depot. read more

We had a great time and found a few things we couldn't live without! The mill is beautifully converted, it's ranking in my top 5 favorites I've been to in my 40 years of collecting vintage and antiques. The majority of the booths are organized, well kept, thoughtfully curated and artistically decorated like darling little boutiques. Prices seemed overall in line and fair. We enjoyed our day trip from Upstate SC to Concord NC. read more

We traveled a 6-hour round trip with an infant child to visit this pillar of Concord, North Carolina. We were set on finding the latest and greatest vintage home adornments. We throughly enjoyed our hours-long stroll through the antiquated aisles of this establishment. However, my mother desperately wanted filler for the entrancing vase she bought. They would not let her buy one of the flowers for it because she didn't know the price. It was quite impudent. Also, the coffee shop was closed. read more
