What clients say about Wheeler Station Antiques in Wheeler (OR)
It's a very big store with lots of variety. You can get lost in there. Pricing is a little on the high side, in my opinion. The biggest disappointment, is there is no restroom for customers. In a store that large where you may be wanting to spend a lot of time shopping, there should be accommodations. Crossing a highway to use a sometimes open public restroom is what kept me from spending more time there.
Located right on Highway 101 with parking right in front of the building. This is a pretty decent sized "mall". There is currently a bunch of sales happening and there is a room full of Christmas stuff that is 75%. The layout is a bit out of sorts as it is easy to get turned around inside and also the front of the store was a lot more empty than the rest of the space. There was however a great variety of inventory with interesting things to look at. The prices seemed very appropriate for the items. We ended up finding four different Royal Haeger pieces (two were damaged and sold at a lower price). Three of the four pieces each came from a totally different vendor but all matched and were Royal Haeger Mauve Agate pieces. The staff had a bit of confusion as to which of our pieces to discount and the wrapping process of the items left something to be desired as a piece that is well over 80 years was clanked down on the glass display case. There little to no heat inside and some areas of the store were not lit. You will definitely want to bundle up to look around in here.
Awesome mall but the women who work the counter are awful. They sit there talking smack about their friends and kids, and there have been numerous times now where they either made some rude comment about the items I was buying, or flat out ignored me at the counter. I'm never going back.
Wonderful antique mall with a lot of really cool items! However, staff is very rude. Don’t bother shopping here if you come within one hour of closing.
Lovely antique mall! Very decent size and has a small second story. So much variety of items there's sure to be something for everyone! Workers are very nice and are incredibly helpful!
Always a fun place to visit. Every time we head to the coast we make sure to stop in. There's always something to see and buy. The staff is friendly and has always treated us well. One of the things I like most is that it's not just the same stuff. Booths come and go, providing more variety. It's a fun place to shop!
15 minutes to closing on my birthday, so I was heading to grab the item I wanted to purchase to bring it to the register. I passed the entrance area. A lady who was chatting with all her shopping friends at the register bellowed, "Have a nice day!" as I passed the door. "Oh, I'm just grabbing this item to buy it." She scoffed loudly and replied, "Well, I guess I'll allow it."
Turned around and left without giving them the sale. Lady, it was 15 minutes to closing. How about instead, "Sounds great, just a reminder we close in 15 minutes." I understand labor is really expensive right now, but this was nuts, and she wasn't even smiling or kind when berating us. We were practically to Netarts when 5:00 actually rolled around, several towns over before they ACTUALLY closed. She was still casually chatting with several shoppers when we walked out.
No worries, keep your mountains of debt. You lost my business. ??♀️
This antique "mall" was definitely a lot bigger than I had originally thought! Obviously with it being located in Wheeler and proximity to the coast and Nehalem Bay this antique mall has tons of unique and specific items you can really only find at such a location! You can find items ranging from handcrafted Japanese glass floats to old fisherman trinkets, pirate books, and more! It has just about anything. I personally love shopping for old bottles and glass containers to make terrariums and mini-gardens in. You won't be disappointed with stopping in for a visit, you'll soon find yourself easily passing an hour just walking through and looking at the history of each item.
Passed by on our roadtrip and it did not disappoint! Great wide range of antiques, something for everyone! Staff was very nice and helpful, and fairly priced.
They have the greatest gemstone, rock, crystal selection at the greatest price. My husband had to work very hard to keep me from spending too much money and I ending up spending 99 dollars for 6 beautifully carved stones and a very well made ceramic bowl. I am literally shook about how cheap their stones are. I will go back here again and again and again.
We were out in Wheeler for a quick bit and decided to stop by got excited when found an Iron Butterfly record for my son but then they wouldn’t sell it to me because there’s no price tag. Awesome items iffy service.
This place is full of treasure at wonderful prices, be prepared! Though it may not look big, it is like a maze. One of the BEST antique places i've EVER been! And the staff is super kind too!
So much fun walking through all the rooms looking for a vintage treasure.
They have an interesting collection of records with the right price! Come over, have fun and support local businesses. (They still make your receipt by hand! Isn't that awesome?!)
I lived in Wheeler back in high school. This was one of the place the kids in the neighborhood would explore to pass time when we weren't out fishing. Lots of cool things in there over the years.
Plan on spending a good amount of time here. The building is 2 story and you'll need to follow the signs to find the exit/cash register. Vast amount of antiques and a lot of fun for browsing.
Gem of the coast! I stop in about twice a month. Staff are friendly folks always up for conversation. There is often new items so you're bound to find that lovable nicknack or kitschy item you never knew you needed. A vast collection of just about everything under the sun. A antique, thrifters dream come true!
This store was wonderful, but the help was aweful. Rude, grumpy, and frankly opinionated. Due to the atmosphere I choose to shop elsewhere. Nowhere else in this quaint town did I get the impression that my presence and money was not respected. Retail is about customers, and this customer spent elsewhere.
This mall was so much Fun! Maybe because I've been do cooped up due to covid maybe simply because ther was so much very well priced goodies. Staff was so helpful. Recommend if anywhere in the area.
It’s a BIG space that rambles back and up with lots to look at. True antiques and vintage with some more contemporary items mixed in and prices are on the high side. It’s an interesting spot to browse through on a rainy afternoon but I haven’t bought anything yet.
Good to know:
No public restrooms
Accepts credit cards
Street parking or lot across the highway
Wonderful place! It’s bigger than it looks and the selection is very interesting. The signs, bottles, and cans are numerous here. Had fun looking through the different vendors. Lots of Coca Cola merchandise, some old cameras, typewriters, and postcards were some of my favorite finds.
One of the very best Antique shops on the entire coast. This place is a treasure trove with all manner of items from fine art, to vintage kitchenware, toys, books, furniture, linens, auto memorabilia, tools . . . I could go on and on. The staff is always friendly and quick with an answer to any question. There are many many vendors and just stalls and stalls and stalls of treasure. On a recent trip we were disappointed with the antiques offering in the tourist hub of Rockaway Beach when we remembered having been to this place before. The short drive north was so worth it. I found a remarkable mid-century breadbox in excellent condition for a great price. If you are anywhere near Wheeler you must make the trip.
You could get lost in here but it seemed as if all the prices were a tad high. Individual vendors rent spaces so there was a ton of variety. The working antique popcorn machine was fun.
