FANTASTIC FINDS is owned and operated by Eric and Betty Hall. We are lifetime residents of Catawba County, and have lived and worked in the Hickory Metro area for over 20 years.  The mall is staffed by family and friends whom we trust to provide the level of customer service that has made the mall a favorite of local folks and out of town visitors.

We feel that our variety booth mall is very unique. It is home to a number of dealers of antiques, vintage, and collectible items, as well as arts, crafts, and home accessories. Shoppers love the environment and the selection inside our mall, and we recieve positive comments from both shoppers and dealers on a daily basis. 

The mall allows dealers to display their merchandise in a comfortable, secure, and smoke-free indoor climate-controlled environment. The parking area and mall are located so as to make shopping easily accessible to everyone.

There are no required dealer workdays, so once your booth is set-up, you can go about your daily life confident that we and our staff will work for you every day of the week providing security, customer assistance, and sales suppport. 

You are asked to visit your booth at least monthly to restock and rearrange. If your merchandise is selling well and your booth needs restocking before your planned visit, we will be happy to give you a call.

All inventory and sales transactions are computerized, and you will receive a detailed report each month with your settlement check. There are currently no local requirements for business licenses.

We advertise regularly in local newspapers, regional industry-specific publications, local radio, flyers placed in other malls and shops, and various other methods, as well as maintaining an Internet site for the mall, which you are now viewing.

We routinely have over 1,800 shoppers each month, with the majority making purchases. Many of our regular customers visit weekly just to check out the new vendors and the new merchandise brought in by our current dealers.

 Our Mission Statement is our promise to our dealers and customers.

The Mission Statement of Fantastic Finds is to provide a comfortable and secure mall environment for dealers and customers of antiques, vintage, collectibles, arts, crafts, and home accessories. We will strive to maintain neatness, cleanliness, and safety in the mall. Each staff member will make a personal commitment to establish relationships with dealers and customers, conducting all business in an honest and professional manner.
