DEALER INFORMATION

  Management: The mall is managed by George Zukowski, General          Manager.  George is an experienced leader with background in              antiques, sales, and mall management as well as a previous career in        the banking industry.  Since opening in 1998, we have maintained an

   exceptional level of dealers and are continually looking for top

   quality dealers.

Building:  Our 24,000 square foot building was custom

designed and built to our specifications.  It is fully                              heated and air conditioned.  Very wide aisles provide                            excellent traffic flow accommodating large strollers,                            crowds and wheelchairs with ease.

Booth Space:  We offer dealer spaces from 9'6" to 19'                      wide.  All spaces are 10' deep and have walls on three                          sides.  The walls are made of quality hardboard,textured,                    painted and suitable for hanging.  Most side walls are 7'.                      Rear walls are either 8' or full ceiling height of 10'.

Showcase Space:  We offer over 100 locked and lighted                     4' by 6' showcases.  Our showcases are spread out along                       each aisle to avoid the "glass tunnel" effect.  We also                           allow floor dealers to place showcases in their spaces.

                   

Rental Rates:  Our rent is a flat fee per Booth and/or                        Showcase.  We do not charge our dealers a commission on                      their sales nor do we require our dealers to work.

Dealer Services:  Our staff is committed to helping

dealers in any way we can.  Several carts, flatbed dollies,

ladders and numerous tools are available for dealer use.

Our modern computer system lets us check dealer sales

easily and allows us to make dealer sales payouts promptly                    each month.

OPERATING PHILOSOPHY

  Hours of Operations: Mon.-Sat. 10-5, Sun. 12-5 and on

  Thursdays until 8:00pm.  We are open almost every day,

  closed just three days a year; Christmas Day, Thanksgiving

  and Easter.

  Customers First: They are the very reason we exist. We

  are committed to providing exceptional service to our

  customers by bringing them top quality, authentic 18th,

  19th  and early 20th century antiques. 

  The 50 Year Standard:  After all, shouldn't antiques be

  old?  We use our staff and external appraisers to review

  merchandise.  We actively remove items that are proven not

  to be at least 50 years old.

  Reproductions & Fakes:  The curse of the Antiques

  Business!  We actively search for and remove items that

  could mislead an uninformed buyer.  Our staff will freely

  offer advice and guidance.  We are always learning and

  hope our dealers and customers will help the Antiques

  Industry develop a deeper level of knowledge and

  commitment to authenticity.

  Quality Merchandise:  The single most important factor in

  repeat buying.  We use independent appraisers to monitor

  the merchandise offered.  Our dealers are asked to remove

  items of questionable quality, authenticity or age.
