Conover Square Partners

This was a pretty sad place. Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon in mid March. A lot of the shops were closed. What was open was resale (Flea) and antiques. Not worth going out of your way for or even taking the time while in Oregon (and I love antiques). We had a coffee & tea and some truffles at the café. But have to give that thumbs down — my chai tea was just an instant packet in hot water. My husband’s espresso was 20 inches of foam on top — he was very disappointed. The chocolate truffles looked great, but taste was blah.

I never seen such a run down place sorry to say how can they call this a mall? Theres a hole in the floor covered with carpet I almost fell over it is small but its still a hole needing to be fixed and not just covered waiting for an axident to happen. The bathrooms are so run down and some were out of order. If you look on the west side of the building the building is bulging out and they tried to fix it with a few beams. How can they leave this in the condition? Isnt this a healt hazard? I guesss since this isnt Chicago they dont have building codes. Its was also raining and the had buckets put all over to cath the water comming in. Most of the stores werent even open even though the stores signs said they were suppsed to be open. Theres a restaurant open 5am-​11am it should be open all day. I did manage to see a few stores but most of the stuff I seen for sale I wouldnt even want free its mostly all used. It wasnt worth the long drive!

This place is huge! Specialty gifts, resale & antiques, a café – Conover Square has it all. My husband and I drove from Blue Island to purchase a shabby-​chic cabinet I had fallen in love with on my first visit to the square. That day we left with the cabinet, an assortment of vintage video games he purchased, and a strawberry banana smoothie!
Everyone is very helpful and friendly, this is a place you’ll want to return to too.

Take an old piano factory and turn it into a small town shopping center, and you have Conover Square.
We come out to Oregon to stay at the summer house and wander around town. The house has no television or computer, so there’s not much else to do…
So we drive into town and visit this quaint little shopping mall. Every time we come here, there seem to be new businesses like a knitting shop or candle store. My favorite is the 1^st floor coffee shop. The couple that run it are friendly and offer a wide variety of cold and hot drinks.
There is also a «museum» on the top floor and a volunteer-​run miniature railroad group.
