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.

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 areproven
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.
