Reviews

Large mall, nice layout, clean.  Not used to having an item we asked to have held for us immediately added to invoice without a final approval.  Items are rung up and presented with final bill when checking out without final viewing of items.  Checker seemed perturbed that we asked to see our items and that she had to move the items from shelf to counter for our viewing, then move back to wrapping area.  Second time we've been in this store recently where we felt the check out personnel were not overly friendly.  Prefer store in Omaha.

Stopped to shop on May 2 on the way to Mayo Clinic. We have been in all the Brass Armadillo stores and wanted to compare. The prices were good but the staff left a bad impression. There were only two people at checkout and they were not busy. We had to wait to see items in the display cases and were watched like we were going to steal something when the door was open. When we checked out the person was abrupt, short, and acted like she was doing us a favor by working with us. We were the ONLY ones at the counter but were treated like it was a chore to help us. The packing of several antique native baskets was minimal with one being thrown into the sack without any packing. We will not be back.

Its a huge antique mall with hundreds of different vendors. Prices and selection thus will vary. The store is spacious and well kept. Staff are usually nice. A lot of the vendors have similar stuff though, and it doesn't seem to change that often.

Id like to give 4 to 5 stars but the prices are alot higher at this establishment than your competitors. I did ask an associate if you barter and can make an offer to the vendor and she looked at me like I was crazy. I buy and sell all the time but there's not alot to work with on resell buying from you business.  I will of course try again Sunday to talk to another associate to really get the idea of sales for the business so I can also be a vendor but need to count on floor associates being kind and ready with answers .Repeat customers are the best for this type of business always want them coming back.

Very VERY big. Plan on spending HOURS here! Really cool stuff, large variety, staff was nice, and good music playing. And even a "tired husband lounging area", so to speak.
