Antique Mall Finder Awards 2026

Each year we recognize antique malls for two things we can check on their own websites: how long they have been in business and how big they are. There is no entry form, no fee and no voting. A mall cannot pay for an award, and every listing on Antique Mall Finder stays the same whether the mall holds an award or not.

2026 Heritage Award

For antique malls that have been in business 25 years or more: the founding year on the mall's own website is 2001 or earlier. We read the years by hand from the websites as they were on October 8, 2026 and kept only years that the site ties to the business itself, not to the building or to an earlier business on the same spot. Our guide to the oldest antique malls explains how we read them and ranks every mall that states a year.

2026 Destination Mall Award

For the largest antique malls, the kind you can spend a whole day in: 150 or more dealers or booths, or 50,000 square feet or more, as the mall states on its own website. Of the 793 malls we list, 84 meet it. We did not count booths or measure buildings. When one operator's website gives the same figure for several of its locations, we leave that figure out, because it may describe the whole chain rather than one mall. The largest antique malls guide ranks them by dealers and by floor area.

Award seal for winners

Winners can show the award on their own website with the seal below. Copy the code into an "Embed" or "Custom HTML" block (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress and GoDaddy all have one). The seal links to the mall's page on Antique Mall Finder, where the award is shown. Adding it is up to you and changes nothing in your listing.

Missing, or a figure is wrong?

We only know what a mall's website says. If your mall has been open 25 years or has 150 dealers but your website does not say so, add it to your site and send us the link; we will read it and update the list. The same goes for a founding year or a size figure that is wrong. Mall owners can find more on our page for mall owners.
