South County Antique Mall has been a well-known fixture of the area for two decades. The massive space is over 50,000 square feet of controlled chaos and is likely one of the biggest antique malls you will ever have the chance to visit. The store has endless offerings from countless vendors displayed in row upon row of booths and cases.
