    As a buyer of vintage/antique items, I thought the Emporium (both locations) And their sister store…read morethe fair would be a great place to shop. Boy I was completely wrong. The owner has stuff so overpriced that I wouldn't recommend anybody purchasing anything from the store. Most items you can find on eBay cheaper with shipping. I went to the fair and there was a Virgin Mary marked for $30. Yes, she was vintage. However upon closer look her head was decapitated and glued back. Not even a smooth glue job noticeably broken. I offered 5/$10 for it which is reasonable for a significantly damaged item. The owner's response was it was originally $75 so he would only go down to $25 seriously? Go ahead and keep decapitated Mary and I wish you the best on selling it for $25. Owner is obviously just in it for the money Or completely delusional you pick. Support if you'd like but Buyer beware! Make sure to check Google lens before you purchase.

    As Lake Charles residents, homeowners, and supporters of local small businesses, my husband and I…read morewere excited to check out The Emporium's new spot on Common Street. Unfortunately, our visit was overshadowed by one of the most uncomfortable and baffling customer service experiences we've ever encountered. While browsing--calmly and respectfully, I might add--I was simply checking out a stack of pots, one of which appeared to be a Magnalite. I wasn't throwing them around or causing any damage, just moving them to see the branding. The shop owner approached and commented that he "heard all the ruckus" and wanted to "see what was going on." I let him know I was just inspecting the brand and restacked everything neatly before walking away. A few minutes later, my husband and I, an Army veteran, were looking at a military medical transport box. We were discussing its potential use for hurricane evacuations, and yes--it's a metal box with latches, so there was a bit of sound when we checked the seal. That's when the owner stormed over and abruptly told us, "Don't touch that,". Did he think a) we would break it b) we didn't have the money to pay for something we broke? It was then followed by an aggressive, "You two are the loudest people I've ever encountered." We were stunned and frankly confused by the hostility. We paid for a vintage Coke crate we'd picked out and left. We will not be returning, and we'll make sure to avoid supporting any future ventures tied to this owner.
