New Quarter, New Decor!

Here we are in August already!  Our staff has been very busy changing out our entry for the new quarter.    This is a must see!  They have done an outstanding job of bringing in a vintage, rustic look for you to enjoy as you walk in the door.  Everything from the antique tool chest from an old Portland factory to the terrific industrial light fixtures have been brought out to create a new look for the entry.  Of course, this is just a small taste of what you will find as you wander through the mall.  If you have never visited before, do make it a destination!  We are not your “normal” antique mall but more of a casual shopping experience.  We have terrific eateries here in Aurora so make a date for lunch with a group of friends and make sure you stop by South End Antique Mall!
