The Factory Antique Mall first opened its doors in 1996, starting out more as a flea market where antiques were only a part of a large variety of curios offered for sale. General Manager Jason Brinkley says that it soon became apparent that specializing in antiques made good business sense. Time has proved his thinking to be correct.
Since then, the Factory Antique Mall has grown into a huge mall-style operation that now covers 90,000 square feet of indoor space. It now consists of a group of independent vendors who offer the largest selection of antiques and collectibles in the Shenandoah Valley and Brinkley says that it's one of the largest antique malls on the east coast.
