Sadly the antique shops of Franklin have diminished. This particular mall is of fair size yet there wasn’t anything that caught our eye this trip. As folks who do a lot of antique shopping this was OK but much of it was pricey. Perhaps Covid has been a factor in the decline of interesting antique shops there days. Who knows?

This shop is packed to the extreme with a lot of unique treasures and even if you aren't looking to buy something it's worth a trip to look around. You never know what you'll stumble across. The building is surprisingly bigger than it appears from the parking lot, as we had to do this over 2 days to cover all of the rooms. The store closed the first day before we were done.

Visitors from California and enjoyed browsing this antique mall in the downtown area of Franklin. We have been to antique stores in many states and this one is very good. There are unique old antiques, new items and plenty of interesting stuff to reminisce about. We are on a search for a pressure gauge solid brass and unfortunately didn’t find one in Franklin.

To stay in business for an antique mall in today’s environment you can’t keep providing antiques. The owners here have added in new cool stuff but it has become a new product store- no longer an antique store. Well, I take that back- there are still a lot of antiques here but not as it used to be. You will see the difference if you were here a year ago. Nice environment, cool ceiling, awesome floors, what’s in between can be antiques or fake boxwood bushes. Very different. Worth a visit I suppose but a trip to rooms to go and pay attention to the accessories you’ve got it.

This was a quaint/small antique 'mall'. Antique is a stretch, vintage maybe. It's clean and air conditioned, well organized.
The first employee I encountered greeted and welcomed me in.
The store is full of different things from different eras including some eclectic furniture. If I wasn't here on business I would have definitely considered some of the bar stools and quilts. The downside was as I was leaving there was another lady sweeping the front porch entrance. As I exited she said nothing. She thanked the couple behind me for visiting. I won't go any further for I don't want to assume, but I know I'm not invisible, and I hope she didn't ignore me because of what some people would think. Maybe she hates sweeping, or I caught her off guard, who knows.
And yes, I'm from out of town.

Plenty of room to spread out. Many rooms to see. I was astounded by the number of tiaras. Staff friendly. Restrooms available for customers. No mention of mask wearing, but I would suggest it.

This is my absolute favorite place to go when we are in Downtown Franklin, TN. The antique mall consists of numerous buildings so allow at least 1 hour to get through them all. I always find a few treasures (which may or may not be antiques). Definitely check out the Franklin Antique Mall if you are visiting Downtown Franklin!

There are a few antiques sprinkled around with a lot of mass produced decor Fine if that’s what you are looking for but the name is deceiving If I need mass produced farmhouse decor I might swing by next time but then again probably not because there were stores I enjoyed more

We visited this shop twice on our visit. On our first visit, we came in at 4:30 pm and they closed at 5:00 pm. Due to the size of the shop, we knew we would not see everything. However, we found a few items to purchase before closing time. At check-out, an employee said to another employee..."I don't know why people come in at 4:30 when we close at 5 pm." The second employee tried to cover for the other's comment.
We returned a few days later to look at two pieces of furniture. Unfortunately, they didn't fit our needs. Being from out of town, I asked at the front counter where else I could look. A completely different employee sternly told me "I don't shop anywhere else."
Since they were our first shop of that day, I asked subsequent shops for suggestions and each and every other shop guided me to other places that might have what we were looking for.

I have shopped at the Franklin Antique Mall at least once a year for the last 8 years when I visit my sister in Nashville. I am sorry to say that I won't be returning. The mix of vendors and merchandise has changed dramatically, and there are almost no antiques at this "antique" mall anymore. If you are looking for antiques, don't bother stopping here.
