My son and I went just to see what it was all about and I'm so glad I stopped. It was a very nice place. Vintage stuff, new stuff. Anything you can imagine prices from low to high definitely worth going and checking it out

EDIT: 7/5/25 better experience and owner helped me find a painting that was posted online thankfully. ——————————————————-Excellent vendors and unique store however the owner’s husband Todd was very RUDE to me and my wife during checkout. He was also rude when he was putting something purchased by someone else on a dolly as if we were in his way. We love supporting local and are willing to give this place another try but we were treated as expendable. We were there in the last 2 hours of closing and left right before closing so maybe he was just ready to go for the day but the owners husband who helps runs the store was very impatient and rude. We wanted some things placed aside before we saw the total to make sure we could afford everything we were wanting but he acted like he was dumbfounded that we wanted to see the total first. We ended up not getting the rest of the items and debated on whether or not we should spend our money there in the first place. There are many vendors with discounts up to 50% and we wanted to make sure that it was the correct total and he was very impatient and not appreciative. We felt good supporting the local vendors but not the man who owns the place. There are plenty of other local antique and consignment stores that would be more than thankful of my business and yours too. I think the female staff there were very nice and helpful with answering questions but not the owner’s husband. Hopefully you will have a better experience.

This is a huge antique building with many booths. Most items are expensive. The lady that works at the front register isn't very nice or maybe she was having a bad day when I approached with a question. I never go back to her anymore with questions. If something comes up that I don't have the information I need, I leave without the product. The booths are situated in a chaotic haphazard manner leaving one to wonder if they have seen everything in the building or if they have missed an entire area. I check with them on the coat to set up inside and the prices for renting areas in the building were over the top. Also, before approving you to rent, they want to approve your products first. They want pictures of all of your wares sent to them. They'll go through what you send and then let you know if you're approved or not. I don't know. They seem to be trying to only sell high end and deal with people in a higher class than the average Joe. Just my opinion and the impression I got after talking to them extensively.

I love going to the Blue Octopus! Friendly and great staff! You can find something for everyone. I personally love the antique parts. I love how you only have to check out in one spot and there's always great deals!
