What clients say about Renningers Antique Market Adamstown in Denver (PA)
I have something not so friendly to share, been going to renningers for 10+ years with my son, he has autism and loves looking for dinosaurs, last Sunday he was digging for 10 minutes through a pile of toys on spot -27 and he found 2 dinos, he bravely asked the guy if it was his and how much he wanted, guy replied $5, my son gave him a $10 bill, he put it in a bag, at this point an older woman came around the corner, the guy said he would have his change, the woman sneaky asked him, " oh what did you get? My son opened the bag to show her, she ripped the toys out of his bag, got close to him and said, " you don't think you are going to get these for $5", then she gave me half of my $10 back, we went and talked to management right away, a week later, no apology, no dinosaurs, no other half of my money back, needlessly to say he wouldn't come with me this sunday, people need to think about what they are doing, 3 weeks later now, sent voicemail, e mail to renningers, no reply at all
What a wonderful experience! The people, the merchandise and the character around every turn both indoors and outdoors is like stepping back in time in the best possible way. I purchased some things and had fabulous conversations along the way. This is a quality market coming from someone who has pursued the ‘joy of the hunt’ both here and abroad. Pay no mind to the nay-sayers and go here. Your heart will be full…
Was good in the 80’s. Times have changed and antiques (100 and older) are harder to find. New generation not interested is past. Still a place to spend time in seeing various items and talking to the dealers.
Overpriced vendors and wholesalers inside smells like mold. Lots of old stuff not sure if its relevant. Outside vendors was sparse lots of military stuff. Walking paths very uneven gravely. Not sure labor day weekend indi ates level of vendors normally.
It has some of the coolest things, but most of all the best place is lost in toys it will take you back to your childhood. The owner jim and his wife are very customer friendly and very knowledgeable about everything they sell .great people .
I have been coming here since the mid 70s. It is my favorite. But mostly because of the nostalgia. A lot of vendors are dirty and unorganized. I hope the management reviews their lease requirements with the vendors soon as to clean the booths up. It is hot in the summer but warm in the winter. I recommend going here.
I made a special trip here on a Sunday because it is the only day it is open. I was pretty disappointed. It was interesting walking around, but the prices are very high and many booths look trashy. I found something I was interested in, asked the price, and was quote an extremely high price of 5 times what they go for. The vendor got insulted and told me that he doesn't give stuff away. I stopped looking at his booth because I am sure it was all overpriced, the reason there is stuff all over and unorganized, and dirty. That is the vibe at this place. Usually antique markets are on the high side, but this place feels more like a flea market, except the prices. Many of the vendor stands really need to be cleaned up so it doesn't look so junky. I should have just spent my time at the antique malls in the area. Much better than here.
It was ok. I didn't know if you go past noon most shops are closed. It was very dark and dirty looking. The only bright spots were the beautiful glass booths with their stunning pieces.
This antique store is very huge, but needs to get caught up with modern times. Just because the place is open doesn’t mean all the vendors are open. Half the vendors were closed. You need to hunt down the vendor if you want something and the they don’t take card so you need to go get cash. Huge waste of time. Would be better if they were like every other antique store where you check out at one cash register and if they would take card. Don’t recommend if you want an easy and convenient store to shop in.
If you like antiques and vintage items this is a must stop. Huge variety of items. Vendors with jewelry, glassware, lighting, furniture, coins, military, toys, etc. Something for everyone. We got so many treasures we had to make several trips out to the truck. Third year visiting and will certainly be back again.
This is the mother of all antique markets, it has a completely unique feel to it unlike any other place we've been. Someone told me it's been there from the 1960s and I believe them. Just really really long rows of shops in a pretty beat up old structure. Food stalls smattered here and there and I found some old books on China travels from the 1880s that probably have been sitting on the lady's shelf for a decade. She wanted a pretty price to part with them, but I had to have them.
Great selection, knowledgeable antique dealers, and a wonderful treasure hunt iconic Renningers! Outdoor vendors, lots of parking, lunch counter, and plenty of merchandise to fill two hours of walking through this mall. After decades, Renningers is a place filled with wonderful merchandise and special memories too! It will not disappoint. Antique glass, lighting, clothes, coins, collectibles and so much more!
I always enjoy visiting the Renningers flea markets. This one in Adamstown/Denver is terrific and open every Sunday throughout the year for outside vendors. The term ‘flea market’ often refers to vendors selling a lot of new merchandise, but thankfully Renningers remains true to the antiques and vintage genre! There are also a lot of indoor vendors to sift through. The booths definitely contain a lot of junk, but if you’re willing to search, you will surely come away with a treasure!! Enjoy the process and visit this old school antiques market.
Been going to Renningers for a number of years now. Our trip was in the afternoon on Sunday however many of the vendors were closed well before closing time so we didn't get to see everything that we were hoping to see. We did meet one of the vendors who sells clocks and other items. Very nice and willing to work around prices.
This place was great. It is huge, and it is one of those old time antique Mart. A ton of vendors with just about anything you can imagine. The prices vary, but you can certainly find some thing that you’re looking for here and most of the vendors seem to have good skills when it comes to talking about price. Don’t miss a chance to find that one special item you’ve been searching for, it’ll be here. It is also a social hang out for people which is one of the functions that these marts used to perform in society. I love just listening to the locals who’ve gathered because that’s what they do talk about things. Good stories, and the people they know. The vendors are really kind and decent people. Definitely go out of your way to come here it’s worth it.
LOVE IT! So many vendors in a winding building that will keep you wandering all morning. It's got a couple of tiny restaurants within for a quick bite. Bathrooms on site, ATM too. Very nice way to spend a Sunday. Opens at 7:30 so you can get there early to start your day off and still have the rest of the day to enjoy Amish Country
Only open on Sundays, but it's worth the wait and the trip!! Fantastic!! From Curtis Nace's Phonographs, 1860 Manufacturing Company with unique industrial art pieces to Darrell L. Markley's beautiful vintage glass (which I collect) and to Bob Roth's antique hardware, who saved me with door plates with no skeleton key hole!! For the vintage door I am restoring!! Searched for weeks looking!! Fantastic for anything antique lover!!
Many of the vendors were closed or there was unrented spaces. The place is not very clean. You have to look hard to find what you want. There are vendors that are organized.
Absolutely the best way to spend a couple of hours sunday. We have become huge fun's of a wood and iron artist Ed Redcay. His booth is towards the back and everytime we have to get one of his tables. Last week we found 1943 cinema posters!
I’m surprised at the reviews saying items are overpriced. A few items, yes. But most items were very reasonable and well below retail value. Some really friendly venders shared some history on the items (a really neat handmade smelting spoon for $3). Everyone was pleasant during some friendly bargaining. I had so much fun shopping here and I will definitely be back. I’m driving from almost 2hrs away and it’s totally worth it for a fun day of flea market hunting & neat finds. If you don’t find what you are looking for, there are also antique shops in the area that are fun to browse and reasonably priced for a retail shop. The market opens early and is closing up by mid-day so plan to hit the market first and then the retail shops!
