“I love a good thrifting moment, especially when I find unique pieces! This place is a hidden gem located on St. Charles Rock Rd.
From clothes, shoes, vintage toys, comic books, vinyl records, household decor and more. You are bound to find something that matches your style. Each booth/space is owned by a different vendor and they each carry something different. Prices on items were fair and reasonable.
Staff greeted me as i came through the doors, and let you have free range to browse. They were available to answer any questions you may have.
Definitely worth looking into if you are a thrifter!!”
“LOVELY store! Beautifully organized and maintained — I accidentally bought something I thought was MUCH less than it actually was and the store’s employees were SO very sweet and worked with the vendor to get me a partial refund! Will shop here again!!”
“Brian and his team at The Brass Alligator did a truly remarkable job helping me through two major phases of handling my mother’s estate:
- Phase 1: Packing and moving 25 truckloads of fine art, antiques and furniture to Link Auction Galleries. My mother was a passionate collector, and Brian’s extensive knowledge of art and antiques was invaluable. What I had anticipated being an emotional and overwhelming experience actually became enjoyable. Brian and his team brought enthusiasm and curiosity to the process, often discussing the history and significance of items as they were uncovered. The move was completed on schedule and within the estimated budget - no small feat given the volume and complexity of the work.
- Phase 2: Because of how well Phase 1 went, I chose The Brass Alligator to handle the estate sale as well. Although I wasn’t present for this phase, I did not have any reservations with providing Brian access to the house in my absence. He kept me informed, especially when uncovering items of personal or financial value I might want to keep, ensuring nothing meaningful was lost along the way. His team cleaned out the house, staged, researched and priced everything, and hosted what turned out to be a record-breaking estate sale.
I enthusiastically recommend The Brass Alligator. After what they accomplished for me, I have no doubt they can tackle any job with professionalism, care, and integrity.”
“If you enjoy looking through rare items, oddities and simply unique things this is your place! Well organized, labeled and displayed well throughout the entire store. Just the building itself is worth the trip!”
“Such a cool spot - a cool variety of items that you can spend an hour exploring. The guys are really friendly and knowledgable. If you like cameras, it can’t be beat! The biggest selection of camera bodies, lenses, filters, straps, everything.”
“The man who helped us was very knowledgeable and gave us a great price for our gold, especially compared to other 'buy gold' shops in the area. Overall an excellent experience”
“This place is so stunning on the inside when it comes to what they’re selling and their interior decor. I’ve never seen such a clean, happy, and strong environment in a work place. Keep up the great work MoModerne!”
“I really liked this thrift store. It seemed to be half antiques/half thrifted items. The prices were incredibly fair and they had some sales going on. It's quite a drive from where I live but I plan to check it out again soon!”

“What a cute little shop. Recently discovered the shop of resale items. From what I understand people donate items and they resell them and the profits go towards the Missouri botanical Garden. There are a lot of little hidden treasures in here. We found that the prices were a little high for resale store, but it's going to a good cause. They have a lot of glass items like knickknacks for your house and full china sets. They have a great selection of antique jewelry as well. Lots of interesting lamps. My friend bought one that was just perfect for her Bedroom. They also have dining tables and a little bit of other furniture. If you're ever at the garden, you might as well stop by to take a peek and see if you find any little hidden treasures. The staff is always happy to help you search for a particular item that you might be looking for.”

“It is so much fun to shop here. I am always able to find something new to me to brighten up the holidays. Pro tip: take a lap around the shop, then turn around and go the other way. You will see something different every time.”

“I went to the May 31 sale in Ballwin. I picked up a few things and saw a dust collector system I really wanted. I left to think about it and of course checked with my wife. So I later went back to the sale and spoke with Becky Kaletka. She suggested since I couldn’t get it that day to put a bid on it, If successful I could get it the next day. It all worked out and Becky let me in early on Sunday to disassemble it and take it out. My Thanks to Becky for working with me to make this happen.”
“We saw this shop on our way to the botanical garden and couldn't pass by without stopping in. There is so much amazing art around every turn. The sweet dog greeters inside were the best.”
“Had a blast looking through all the treasures with my boyfriend. We found so many cool things and ended up purchasing a few items. Wonderful staff and lots of items!”
“Sorry for the night pic this is my $500 dollar mcm coffee table lol ?I moved here a year ago and this was the third antique I went to. The staff is laid back. So coming here almost a year later, still chill staff”
“Huge antique mall with a great variety of vendors. Reasonable prices and a solid mix of furniture, decor, and some vintage clothing. Found a rare Charley Harper National Parks poster here! Definitely a curated selection.”
“I had a nice discussion with the Owner (she deals with antique and vintage toys plus other things) who’s been in business 43 years and she was helpful and shared information with me which was nice to find someone willing to take 7 minutes out of their day to help another person. She probably knows about everything in the Antique area of Cherokee and more. Thanks -Robyn.(We just spoke /Friday night at 6:20 pm)”
“I’ve been a customer for over a decade and each time I shop here, I find what I’m looking for. The staff are knowledgeable and keep beautiful and fascinating pieces in stock. I consider it a treat shopping at Retro 101/Cherry Bomb Vintage”
“Adorable little ship with unique finds! I was immediately drawn to their adorable big foot items. So much to look at and a fun mix of cute antique items. Their prices were fairly reasonable too!”
“Nice things to choose from. However I needed to leave before purchasing anything. I could not handle the music that was playing. Not a relaxing shopping experience with music playing that I just wanted to run from.”
“I had an amazing experience at The White Rabbit! The workers were so kind and helpful -- one offered lots of advice on the selection of Christmas Villages at the store, and even wrapped my gift very nicely. Would 100% reccomend this store for any holiday shopping! All the knickknacks were so lovely and beautiful.”
“Mr. Szelag did a first class restoration of an 1870s painting by my wife's great, great uncle, a world renowned artist. Mr. Szelag renewed the frame as well, which was a big plus since we were used to seeing it in raw condition. The renewal of the painting made us think we were looking at it for the first time, the change was that dramatic.”
“What a great place to shop for secondhand furniture!! Their selection is nicely curated and displayed, and they have a good variety of pieces. The staff is very friendly and welcoming - I forgot to bring my own tape measure and they very kindly let me borrow one. We found a little loveseat at a terrific price that will be perfect for our living room. One of the staff helped us load it into our vehicle. I plan on going back for any future furniture needs and would definitely recommend this place!”
“Super cool stuff there! I got two iron stars which are everywhere on the brick buildings. It's hard to tell the place is opened because the windows don't show any light inside. Look for the wooden open sign.”
“We recently had our first visit to jacs. Recommended by a few of the neighbors we decided to head over there for our car overheating troubles. A few hiccups and a little more money than I had hoped to spend she's back and on the road again. They were friendly, prompt as I think they could be for being a older car and having to scour around for parts..and patient with my once a day 'check ins'. ?Service: Electrical”

“My wife is a designer out of New York, and when we come to her hometown of St Louis, she always insists on coming here. Elders is a treasure trove of unique and beautiful antiques. The selection is vast and diverse (THREE floors), with something for every taste and budget. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they go out of their way to ensure you find exactly what you're looking for. The prices are more than fair, and the quality is outstanding. I highly recommend Elders to anyone in the market for high-end antiques at reasonable prices.”
“An off the beaten path antique mall off the main road in St. Charles. It's a small little mall, but it has a lot of great treasures to check out. I walked out with a half dozen treasures. The lady was warm & welcoming when I walked in and checked out.”
“This place is UNBELIEVABLE! It appears somewhat hoarderish at 1st glimpse but every step you take you are stepping over a part of history!! Treasures galore!!! The owner is incredibly nice as well!”
