We went out there not expecting much, but we saw some amazing deals.Going back soon now that we closed on our house.We saw quite a few deals that were great for anybody looking to fill a new house with furniture.
Have shopped here many times in the past year. Lots of antiques and other "stuff" offered my multiple vendors. Air conditioned which is a plus in the South! Very friendly and helpful staff. Different items are arriving daily, so need to stop back often to see what's new.
After reading all of the glowing reviews, and desperately needing something to do with my wife and kids on a very rainy Myrtle Beach vacation we decided to take a road trip to this antique mall. Was it bad? No. Was it what we expected based upon the reviews? Well, yes and no. I mean it is a purveyor of antiques-that part is true. It was not however the colossus that was so big that street signs were required to navigate (although they have them). It was big-just not THAT big. Not a lot of variety, with a lot of furniture that is oldish, but not necessarily true antiques, that have been painted over for a shabby chic effect. It should take the average person just an afternoon or morning to go through at a leisurely pace.
As soon as you walk in the door, you can see why Palmetto Peddlers has been voted Best in the Pee Dee every year since it opened. The place is huge! It's set up like a city scape, and each aisle is named after a street, and each vendor has an address. There are hundreds of vendors. One unique feature is that Palmetto Peddlers has not only antiques and collectibles, but also a selection of local artists who do everything from beautiful door wreaths to handmade baby and toddler clothes. There's loads of upscaled furniture as well as timeless antiques, and showcase vendors who sell estate sterling silver and jewelry to Steuben and Tiffany glass. The staff is friendly and helpful. And, the large building has central heat and air conditioning, so shopping is always comfortable. The building and restrooms are handicap accessible, and there's plenty of parking.
To call this an antiques mall is like calling a fast food joint fine dining. There are a few booths with antiques, but most of the merchandise is new or dime store quality. They should rename it, something like new crafts, home decor and clothing. It is quite large and we did see a few pieces of antique furniture that had been painted to give it a "distressed" look. If you are looking for antiques or even quality collectibles don't waste your time.
My wife and I are antique collectors, and so when we were visiting relatives in Florence SC, we made it a point to stop at Palmetto Peddlers. We quickly saw that while this large multi-dealer store included some dealers of antiques, it had many more dealers of home decor, and relatively new items. Nevertheless, we enjoyed browsing and actually bought a few small items. Staff there were quite friendly and helpful. All in all, we spent an enjoyable hour or so there, and now know what to expect, and will probably return on our next visit to Florence SC
Great place to shop for home decor, antiques, crafts, etc. It is worth your time to stop at Palmetto Peddlers!!! Prices are great too. Staff very nice.
Overall, this is one of the largest and cleanest antique locations in the country. Our only complaint would be that we prefer more upscale items and they were limited at this location. Otherwise, the setup and number of antique dealers were excellent.
The Palmetto Peddlers Antiques Mall is a clean, well stocked place to shop for collectibles. There are different "booths" that have different dealer's items displayed. My daughter has to go there every time she visits. The people are friendly and helpful.
You can expect to spend hours here. There is so much to look at in all the booths. You'll be glad you stopped.
