The Depot at Gibson Mill

My wife heard about this place for antiques and vintage finds and understood it is the largest antique mall in the south. So, we decided to travel the hour to Concord to check it out. We really didn't know how big it was until we pulled into the parking lot, WOW!!

We first headed over to the Market area which we understand is a somewhat new addition (separate review). We walked in and were immediately impressed by the quality of the items within the booths.

Now are you going to get an incredible deal, likely not, but this is a fun place to explore and get ideas. There was a long line of people waiting for the checkout and they were likely taking advantage of discounted Christmas items which many of the booth were offering at reduced prices.

The building itself is very cool, my wife and I both love vintage industrial buildings and this has everything you look for in a vintage commercial space.

We took about an hour to explore the perimeter aisles, it would easily take 4+ hours to wander each and every aisle. We will absolutely stop in again and are already planning to take my in-laws when they visit from the west coast this Spring.

Huge antique mall. You can easily spend hours here. Great place to go on a rainy day. Tons of smalls to huge industrial antiques. I would highly recommend.

We had a great time and found a few things we couldn't live without!

The mill is beautifully converted, it's ranking in my top 5 favorites I've been to in my 40 years of collecting vintage and antiques.

The majority of the booths are organized, well kept, thoughtfully curated and artistically decorated like darling little boutiques.
Prices seemed overall in line and fair.

We enjoyed our day trip from Upstate SC to Concord NC.

My parents used to have two booths at Gibson on McGill and I always loved looking at of everyone's items.

I used to like this place until it became fully commercialized. We went up yesterday hoping to explore all the antiques and variety of vendor booths. It seems it is now the same type/style of items spread throughout all of the "booths". Shabby chic decor and fake antique signs, dishes and other items with a few truly vintage items sparsely sprinkled about. Lots of pillows, candles, and "live, laugh, love"-type signs. It's truly awful. A few yrs ago it was a true antique mall. So disappointed by what it's become. I won't return. (I'd much rather go to Sleepy Poet, Southend Exchange or The Brass Grasshopper).

We traveled a 6-hour round trip with an infant child to visit this pillar of Concord, North Carolina. We were set on finding the latest and greatest vintage home adornments. We throughly enjoyed our hours-long stroll through the antiquated aisles of this establishment. However, my mother desperately wanted filler for the entrancing vase she bought. They would not let her buy one of the flowers for it because she didn't know the price. It was quite impudent. Also, the coffee shop was closed.

Y/ DM CM. Wow can spend half day here looking. Lots of smalls glassware home decor vintage fabric Knick knacks. Just gorgeous displays and tons of tons of items for your home or find that collectors item. Prices are a tad high but if you can find that special something all the better. Very little in terms of antique or vintage furniture.

Absolutely recommend this place.

Nestled in Concord North Carolina, you have to stop in here. People WAIT outside for this place to open up. Extremely quaint historic town and this very nostalgic and turn of the century building repurposed and refreshed!!

Pros: Wonderfully decorated, music overcasted and billions of vendors to get lost around. 'Highly' recommend having a map with you!

Cons: Can't even remotely consider one, LOL!

Come one, come all, bring the family!!

This is one of the COOLEST places I've been to. A hidden GEM! I can't believe I haven't known about it. I'm in awe. Such a large selection, a true blast into the past. Tons of rooms, prices were varied but there is really something for everyone. It's definitely a little overwhelming but not if you like this kind of thing. You could spend hours here, it's HUGE.

Great place to explore!!!! Wear your comfortable shoes for sure!!!! Great vendors ! P
