Old Glory General Store

Great shop. Good staff. I Bought some stuff, was hard to choose. Lot of choice here. Would come back with pleasure.

Dont waste your time by coming here the customer service is terrible they are very rude here if you are young theg follow you around the store as if your gonna steal something

Fun Displays~ Friendly Staff ~Worth a peek! A little hard to find parking.

Wow, we really had fun at this very large antique store. I attended a holiday faire with my cousins. I’m so happy I attended. The owners put on an amazing buffet and decorated the store. Each of the small stalls of antiques reflected a different time period in the ages. One stall had the 50’s memorabilia, the next 50’s style clothes. I felt like I was in a doll house.
It was hard to turn around in the store because it was so full of delightful antiques. The owners were happy to work with customers so that no one went home without something old. If you’re in Riverside and you like antiques then this store is for you. Each of my family members have such different personalities and it was fun to see that everyone found something to take home.

My wife and I love coming here. Even our three kids love it because there is free popcorn to enjoy while you browse and we usually buy them some trinkets. The staff and owner have always been very kind and helpful. We have purchased a lawyers book case, unique pottery, a kitchen table with chairs and many other small items. The store is just fun. Most items are under $ 500.

This is a GREAT store with lots of good finds and deals no matter what you collect! There is so much to look at, great prices, a fabulous room with vintage clothing from every era, free popcorn, and very helpful staff. Get on their email list for advanced notice of sales going on! Don’t miss this quaint shop with a good spirit!

I appreciate good service as it is reciprocated by my patronizing a store. My advice for the serious antique shoppers… Skip this store, there are plenty of worthy antique stores in the area, do yourself a favor do not go here… this one is horrible for several reasons. 1.)Customer Service, If you are an ethnic minority or young do not waste your time going here, you will be treated as if you are stealing something no matter how kind or nicely dressed you are, or how much money you spend there.
2.)Horrid red haired women that runs the place: you are very unpleasant, how is it that you have a business that stays open… I have been in there several times in a few years and each time I return, I am reminded of how incredibly rude and discriminatory you are toward people who are not white. For example: greeting only the white people who walked in and glaring at me. I stood in the distance to observe you do this behavior to the white only crowd. 3.) Everything in this store is junk, antiques altered to look «crafty», most if it is broken, torn, or not worthy of purchase, hoarders paradise.

This place is amazing! I do not know how it only has 3 stars. Very unique antiques and the owner is a sweet heart. They are willing to work on prices with you. It’s my first place I go to look for unique gifts, and décor for my salon and home.

Old Glory is my favorite vintage and antique emporium in Riverside. The prices are reasonable and their selection is amazing! The hot tip is the vintage clothing room in the back of the store… gotta check that out if you go to Old Glory. The proprietor is very sweet, too.

So I don’t know what the issue was with the other 2 people who found it closed or rude. We were driving by and saw it was open. We were greeted right away by a friendly red hair lady. Great lay out of spaces and merchandise. Right away we found an incredible antique ceramic pitcher and cups set. We were trying to find out information on the maker mark but were having trouble. She tried to look it up also. She said it was ok if we sat on a space and did research. We probably tried to find it for about 45 minutes. We have up looking for now because she gave us an incredible deal on it. She super wrapped it and boxed it up nicely.
She also shared about the 3 open houses they have through the year.
We will definitely come back. It is a large mall. So many goodies to look at.

Drove 45 minutes only to read inly the door «month of August open only fri-​sun. Totally bum! Check hours before driving long distances

A coworker found old photo albums at this store, bought 2 for $ 24 (half price) and with info that she found in the albums located a daughter of the person who used to own the albums. The daughter then went back to this store to see if there were more family albums. She located 3 more and asked the sales woman how much and explained how she came to be there looking. She was charged $ 42 (40%off). This is ridiculous and the sales person should have charged better rate for old albums no one else is going to buy. Also my coworker and the daughter of the original album owner both said the sales woman/​owner was rude.

This is the coolest Antique place I have been to in the area. It just keeps going and the selection of stuff is so cool to look through. My wife and I went home with a few things, but we also left with plans to come back when shopping for furniture. The prices are amazing and the old furniture is very cool! It’s a really fun place to treasure hunt.
Also, if you think your date would enjoy looking around packed Antique shop, I think this would be a great stop on a date. Then walk over to the Salted Pig for dinner, which is also amazing.

i do a lot of antique and thrift shopping and i have never encountered a place like this. the prices are outrageous and the staff is rude rude rude. no thanks. i asked to look through their broaches, the employee told me i could not look through it with my mom i could only do it alone and then she hovered over me. her boss asked her to do something and she shouted repeatedly «watch her, watch her.» i felt like a convict. it was extremely rude. the older gentleman was not much better either. will NEVER come back to this establishment.

While this is an interesting and fun place to shop, I recommend NEVER putting anything on consignment there. Since my 10 little ceramic houses hadn’t sold after 3 months they were delegated to the ‘garage’ instead of someone calling me to pick them up. No one seems to know where my items were put in the garage. I have spent the last 6 months and I’m sure many future months going into the store and asking if they have found my stuff yet so they can return it to me.

Sharing The History Of Riverside!
SITREP
While working in Riverside, I took advantage of opportunity to check out several stores and the historic buildings they were in. Old Glory General Store is housed in the historic downtown building located at 14^th & Market, and it provides new meaning to the words «kitschy» and «Americana.»
THE SETUP
Old Glory General Store is a fun antique shop that is spread out among 9,000 sq. ft. of collectibles, memorabilia and the like, with a lot of old toys, period jewelry, classic rare books, and some pretty amazing furniture pieces.
VINTAGE CLOTHING
What I really liked was a lot of the vintage clothing pieces for both men & women that were found here, with definitely some beautiful women’s outfits & ensembles that would immediately transport them back to the Flappers doing a Charleston dance in the Roaring 20s, or even some elegant park-​stroll wear one would find adorning women in the Gay 90s of NYC’s Central Park or the Parisian Boulevards.
But the period dress pieces cover many eras, and in this instance, my Riverside colleague picked out a sweet 60s Love Child outfit that immediately fulfilled a fantasy of mine! :)
ODDS & ENDS
I particularly liked the history lesson learned as I perused some unique items as some cookie cutter figures of animals & fairytale characters. I even found some old photographic equipment and some very vintage reel-​to-​reel film in it’s cannisters.
PERSONAL HISTORY
Sherry Young, the owner, is a very sweet genuine person, but she and her husband Jed have been through some tough times recently. Apparently back in 2009 while in the process of installing a ceiling fan, Jed fell from the 20 foot ladder and broke his neck, making him a quadriplegic. They’ve been through some very tough financial times, almost losing their house and this store. But the Riverside community and their loyal customer base truly rallied to help them out. So after losing Jed’s ability to work, Sherry’s hobby-​store has become their full-​on livlihood.
If you want to visit, though, you may need to do it soon since it sounds like Sherry & Jed may be packing things up in the next few years to be closer to Sherry’s oldest son’s family in Colorado.
THE LOWDOWN
A delightful place to visit and take in the beautiful & exquisite odds & ends, and a great place to get a visual & contextual history lesson of an Older America.

When you drive past the store you definitely are not prepared for what is inside! It took me a while to decide to go in. I am so glad I did! I always end up with a lot more than I expected. The prices are definitely reasonable And the people I have always encountered have been very friendly and helpful. Thank you all glory. Some of my favorite things I bought at your store

Old Glory is not a general store in the traditional sense. They sell antique and antique-​looking knick-​knacks that will increase the clutter on your currently clutter-​free shelf space.
You won’t find refrigerated cases stocked with beverages or essential food items. You will find various styles of glassware, flatware and lamps – and who doesn’t love a nice table lamp with a laced shade?
I don’t.
But as far as the store goes, it probably would be better served closer to the other antique stores in the area. Parking can be a hassle if you’re looking for it on the street and the nearby lots are usually filled with cars owned by people heading to jury duty.
What do you mean you don’t sell Slim Jims…
