thomasville emporium

Has a lot of neat, antiques. It's in several parts and you can grab a bite at the Side Street Cafe. Good place.

This place is kind of interesting. It definitely isn't high end. It actually is in an old Belk's store that hasn't had a lot of care in 20+ years.This is one of those places that rents booths, so people can put a little bit of everything. Some is good quality. Much is really cheap stuff that looks like it is halfway between the yard sale and Goodwill. There are some booths that really are mid-high quality.It's worth walking through and looking. I've found some things in the past. Toys, fishing lures, cheap jewelry, and some collectibles like stamps are there. There are old tools and farm implements. And,a lot of the 60's and 70's dishware. There is a little cafe in the back that seems to have good food. I usually stop in my buddy's coffee shop around the corner, but people like the cafe in there as well. Check it out.

Came here on advise of Trip Advisor...What a GREAT find! I spent HOURS in this store and would have spent a LOT of money if I had it! Many things that I would love to have...they have furniture, collectibles,books, clothes, toys, jewelry and household goods. Most of the prices were very reasonable. Would have eaten in the cafe there, but they were closed. I did look at the menu and it all sounded great. I will be back!!!

Look for the giant chair. When you find that you know you're only a block away. The place used to be cluttered but it's been cleared out some. There are two entrances....one on Main Street and one around the corner on Commerce St. As you walk in the door the smell of home made soup from the Side Street Cafe (inside the antique mall) will hit you in the face. If you can leave without getting a bowl or cup you are a stronger person than I am. The older lady that usually works on the lower floor (Main St. entrance) tends to follow you around and that really irritates me (a few times we have just walked out when she starts doing it).
