A blast from the past! I remembered so many items from my past while I was browsing through this huge store! Two levels, multiple isles of merchandise and an old fashioned lunch service counter that I use to see in Woolworths or Bradley's. I think 🤔this store became an attraction during the Laconia Pumpkin Festival.Upstairs has sections devoted to chairs and 🚂🚆 trains. Model train sets are set up and you can buy model train supplies as well. It was fascinating to see 🙈.Toys, books 📚, furniture, antiques, coins, comic books, action figures and many more items to find here!Two of the staff members were friendly but the woman at the check out counter scowled at me. I want to deduct a star ⭐ for that but I had a great time browsing. I found a book 📖 in excellent condition that was less $ than ordering it online.Like Douglas MacArthur, I shall return!

Great antique type store. Many rows of individual booths of eclectic stuff. The owner was super nice and friendly and toss a lot about the store and how long he's owned it. They also have a counter in there where they serve food as well as root beer floats. Definitely worth a visit of your laconia.

We love this place, always find something, but I do wish they'd clean up the beautiful old lunch counter. It's piled high with "stuff" and really is part of the appeal of this place.Wonderful people too.

My SIL took me here. We walked in just before 2:00 & a while later she said to me, I wonder when they close? I thought why? We haven't been here long. It was 10 minutes to 5:00! 3 hours & we weren't done looking! We are in love with this place! The people are friendly and we will definitely be back. What a wonderful trip down memory lane. Thank you for the experience!

Antiques galore and good prices. Need a rocking chair? I can’t believe all the chairs upstairs. Found fiesta wear, tea pots, movie posters and so much more. If you are a coin collector visit here for a great selection. Hope my pictures help you see how much they have! 4stars only because it was freezing inside.

A fun place filled with treasures of the past. This is one of those places where you never know quite what you will find. One place you should visit while here is the lunch counter. Fun place to shop and grab a quick bite to eat. Well worth a stop if you love antiques...

Amazing and diverse inventory of vintage books, knick knacks, chairs, memorabilia, etc. we could have gotten lost here for hours. Prices weren't too unreasonable either.

Really enjoyed spending a couple hours here even though we did not buy a lot. Great vibe and fun ambiance for antiquing. Front desk people super welcoming. There's a ton of things here to explore in clean, well-organized open booths.

It's a second hand store with lots of train stuff plus model trains upstairs running every Saturday.

Always an adventure. You never know what you will find, but if you are a collector of vintage items this is the place to find them. Friendly staff AND customers. Also a great model train set-up on the second floor with a wonderful "conductor" running the trains. A must visit!

All of their nice desirable stuff has tags on it that say NFS.Don't lure people in with cool stuff and then tell me it's not for sale. If it isn't for sale, take it home.

My family and I like to come here and check out what they have. My son loves to get a hot dog and root beer float too while we visit. There are many cool antiques here and the prices are also more than reasonable.

Pretty cool place! Covers two floors and has a really neat retro lunch counter. Worth a visit just for the atmosphere.

It's the coolest antiques store around. Lots of old stuff you can look at and purchase. 2 floors they have a model train upstairs.

Amazing place. A walk back in time as soon as you walk in the door. The train sets are like being in Christmas land in the 50's. Beware it is always freezing cold in there so wear a sweatshirt

Pretty fun place with a decent variety of vendors. Not huge but plenty to look at. Make sure you bring your quarters — it costs 25 cents to use the restroom.

They have an ok amount of coins and they are fairly priced, also the coin guy there actually priced my 1862 American penny and he was nice about it while also giving me some facts about the coin too. The lady at the counter was nice and gave me two dollars bills which was really cool and nice of her. They also have trains sometimes running and the guy running the trains is a veteran and served for 15 years.I also have bought several coins from there I got 15 Barbados coins for only 16 dollars, and I also bought a pack of old foreign coins for only 15 dollars and I made a profit off of both purchases.

Interesting place and worth a visit, though a little bit of a letdown from its online persona. The young man at the lunch counter was excellent - freindly, personable and polite. The woman that rang up our few purchases as we were leaving, not so much. I would suggest not going with anything specific in mind - just go to browse.

Its pretty amazing how you can be reminded the time differences between year and years ago til now. I love the train sets they've got set up! Never been there to see them running though which is a downer but, the place is big and clean and ok in the organized dept. Could be better but like I said there's a ton of things there. I like finding Precious Moments figures for my mom every now and then. She was and I think still is huge on the cuteness of the collection items. The people in there (cashiers and workers) are fairly helpful and pretty nice as well. Always in a good mood which is nice.

Amazing, it may look small from the outside but on the inside it's amazing! So many cool things inside. There is also a full scale train course they run upstairs on Saturdays! Amazing place for you and the family to spend hours at.

Great place to stop and poke around for hours! So much stuff to look at, some things I hadn't seen before like a 1930's NYC hotel phone booth and a really cool radio/record player cabinet... The old fashioned soda counter was definitely a fun surprise. Bought 2 sets of salt and pepper shakers and just really enjoyed seeing some cool antiques.

Cool store but the older sales woman who helped us was very unfriendly and condescending. She was unhelpful when I inquired about information on the item I was interested in, and practically scoffed when asked if price was negotiable. Prices seem a little high for what the items are worth, especially since you get NO info about the item.
